HLEB SA MASLINAMA

Fine, vazdušaste veknice belog hleba punjene  maslinama su idealan način da započnete dan. Recept je iz časopisa Sale&Pepe. Izuzetno se lako i lepo prave. Dosta vremena se provede u čekanju da testo nekoliko puta naraste ali  je zaista vredno čekanja.

HLEB SA MASLINAMA

15g svežeg kvasca
pola kašičice šećera
200ml mlake vode

300g brašna
malo soli
pola kašičice šećera

150ml mlake vode
300g brašna
2 kašike ulja

cele masline - zelene ili crne (količina po volji)

Staviti kvasac sa šećerom u 200ml tople vode i ostaviti ga da nadođe na toplom mestu. U većoj šerpi pomešati 300g brašna, malo soli i pola kašičice šećera. Dodati nadošli kvasac i promešati viljuškom. Ostaviti da se  testo odmara 30 minuta.

Testu dodati 150ml vode, ulje i postepeno još oko 300g brašna. Zamesiti glatko i elastično testo koje se ne lepi za ruke. Ostaviti ga da se odmara 60 minuta.

Premesiti testo. Formirati oblik valjka i podeliti ga nožem na 4 jednaka dela. Svaki deo oklagijom rastanjiti na veličinu od oko 24x30-32cm.  Ovih 30-32cm se odnosi na kraću stranu vašeg pleha od rerne. Ako je kraća strana manja onda razvucite manje. Okrenuti testo tako da je kraća strana okrenuta ka vama, pa po dužini, u srednjem delu testa poređati cele masline, a onda preklopiti desni deo preko srednjeg dela, pa levi deo preko njega. Ponoviti postupak sa preostale 3 jufkice. Prebaciti duguljaste vekne u pleh koji ste obložili papirom za pečenje i malo nauljili, tako da je preklop testa okrenut na dole. Ostaviti ih da se odmaraju oko 90 minuta u plehu.

Peći na 210 stepeni oko 20 minuta, pa isključiti rernu i peći još 5 minuta. Pre pečenja na dno rerne staviti šerpu sa vodom. Vreli hleb zamotati u čistu krpu pa ih sa sve krpom staviti u plastičnu kesu na kratko da omekšaju, da se malo upare.
