We purchase pain de campagne from a bakery about 2 hours away. It’s a wonderful bread. Getting the right type of rye flour is critical for the flavor and texture. Although my starter is good, and precious to me for over 10 years, I’ve not been able to get the same taste/texture as the bakery.

Rather than using the steam method, you may wish to bake a loaf in a cast iron Dutch oven similar to the famous “no-rise” bread. I’ve been successfully using the cast iron approach for many of my breads in order to develop a beautiful crust in a regular oven.

I was wondering why you mentioned to mix flours, salt and pate fermentee when you did not have salt listed as an ingredient in the final dough ingredients.

I am a regular bread baker (Bake at least twice a week) and was looking for some more intricate bread recipes. Of course I needed to try the recipe… Quite the adventure it has turned into… I ended up with three little bread bowl-sized loaves.
I was wondering why you mentioned to mix flours, salt and pate fermentee when you did not have salt listed as an ingredient in the final dough ingredients. I think you mistyped and meant to say: 3/4 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of instant yeast, instead of no salt and 3/4 tsp of instant yeast. (I checked the Peter Reinhardt recipe on another blog and that is what they have listed.)

I also had the unfortunate mishap of shattering a perfectly functional 15+ years pyrex oven proof dish. I have used the ‘steam’ method quite often before making cuban bread and baguettes without a problem but here’s a warning: Don’t refill a glass steam pan that has been preheating in a 500 degree oven with fresh water. Even if you use hot tap water, it will shatter. (And put a towel over your glass oven door while you are misting the oven, it could shatter too – no that didn’t happen to me…)

I’m not giving up… The pate fermentee is resting as we speak.
