Are you looking to try your hand at making Tumminia bread? The rich and flavorful bread made from Tumminia durum wheat is a staple in Sicilian cuisine. If you want to bring the taste of Sicily to your kitchen, follow this step-by-step guide to make homemade Tumminia bread.

Ingredients:

  • 500g Tumminia flour
  • 300ml lukewarm water
  • 7g active dry yeast
  • 10g salt

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in lukewarm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. This step ensures that the yeast is active and will help the bread rise.

Step 2: Combine the Flour and Salt

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Tumminia flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Step 3: Combine the Yeast Mixture

Pour the yeast mixture into the well of the flour mixture. Slowly incorporate the flour with the liquid, using a fork or your hands, until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Begin kneading the dough, using the heel of your hand to push and stretch it away from you. Fold the dough over itself and repeat for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5: Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6: Shape the Dough

Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf or desired shape. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7: Final Rise

Cover the shaped dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30-60 minutes, or until it visibly expands in size.

Step 8: Preheat the Oven

While the dough is undergoing its final rise, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 9: Bake the Bread

Once the oven is preheated, place the risen dough into the oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10: Let it Cool

Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the Tumminia bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.

There you have it! By following these simple steps, you can make delicious homemade Tumminia bread. Enjoy the distinctive flavor and embrace the satisfaction of baking your own bread.
