Components for the Biga. Flour, water and yeast.
Completely disolve yeast in the water to begin the Biga.
Add the bread flour to the water and yeast mixture.
Knead in a mixer or by hand until the Biga becomes elastic and pulls away from the bowl or counter if being done by hand. About 8 minutes. Cover and ferment 16-24 hours at room temperature.
Apricot garnish components.
Chop apricots into large dice.
Add to water. Cover and macerate overnight.
The following day the Biga will have fully risen and fallen back down.
Seperate apricots from water the following day.
All dough components.
Combine the Biga with apricot water and mix to combine with your hands.
Knead dough until elastic. Add the apricots toward the end of the kneading cycle. You may need to add more flour or water to reach the desired consistency.
Place dough in greased container.
Cover and proof at 85^ for about an hour and a half or until the dough is double in volume.
Check the proofed dough by making an indentation with your finger into the dough. If the depression does not bounce back the dough is fully proofed.
Divide dough into two pieces and form into disks about 9" in diameter.
With a cooker cutter form a circle in the center of each disk.
Begin cutting disks with a dough cutter.
Continue cutting to form 8 disks in each loaf.
Twist each disk 180^ to form seperations between the disks.
Press a whole macerated apricot in the center of each loaf.
Bake loafs at 375^. During the first 5 mintues spray the inside of the oven twice with water. This helps form the crust you want. More water equals less crust.
Bake for about 24 minutes or until the dough registers 200^ internally. Rotate the pan half way through cooking to insure even browning.
Remove and cool on racks until completely cooled.
Bread is ready for service.
