-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
and sprinkling
1/2 cup rye flour
1 cup bread flour -- plus
2 tablespoons bread flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water -- (110F), plus
1 cup water -- for metal baking pan
1. Mix together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, the rye and bread flours,
salt, yeast, and warm water in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.
(Dough will be sticky.) Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and let rise
in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Refrigerate
dough in bowl until cold, about 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 475F, with a pizza stone or inverted rimmed
baking sheet on rack in top position and a metal baking pan on rack
in lowest position. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface
and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Knead briefly
to incorporate, then form into a smooth ball. Return to bowl, cover
with towel, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
3. Invert a cookie sheet, cover with parchment, and dust with
all-purpose flour. Place dough in center. Poke a hole in center of
dough with your thumbs and stretch it until dough measures 9" in
diameter and hole measures 4 1/2" in diameter. Generously sprinkle
with all-purpose flour and let rest, uncovered, 15 minutes. Using
kitchen shears, cut 14 deep Vs into top of dough, going almost all of
the way through. Pull points of cut Vs away from center to create 14
leaves around wreath. Let rest, uncovered, 15 minutes.
4. In one quick motion, slide wreath on parchment onto pizza stone,
then pour water into metal baking pan. Bake until bread is golden
brown, about 20 minutes. Slide wreath on parchment onto a baking
sheet, then slide wreath off parchment onto a wire rack. Let cool at
least 30 minutes before serving. Bread is best eaten same day it is made.
