Panmarino aka Italian Rosemary Bread

This sourdough bread, generous with the fresh rosemary, has a light tender crumb and golden crisp crust topped with a sprinkling of coarse salt.
The revival of this beautiful recipe is connected with the name Luciano Pancaldo, a baker from the town in the north of Italy, Ferrara. Reading the biographical materials about D'Este family, the rulers of Ferrara at that time, Luciano Pancaldo came across the description of the bread, which was baked for the Dukes. The bread, which was full of rosemary aroma, had a light crumb and golden crust decorated with salt crystals shimmering like diamonds. Being very inspired by the description he decided to create the recipe for Panmarino.

Panmarino aka Italian Rosemary Bread

adapted from Sourdough
1st Preferment Build2nd Preferment BuildDough
  • 12 g 100% Hydration sourdough rye starter
  • 24 g Bread flour
  • 14 g Water
  • 50 g Starter 1st build
  • 94 g Bread flour
  • 56 g Water
  • 200 g Preferment from 2nd build
  • 150 g Water
  • 150 g Milk
  • 1 tsp Malt extract
  • 500 g Bread flour
  • 10 g Salt
  • 40 g Olive oil
  • 30 g Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
  • Coarse sea salt
  • A handful of ice cubes to create the steam
  1. To prepare the first preferment, mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and leave it at room temperature for 10-12 hours.
  2. To prepare the second preferment, add flour and water to the starter of first build. Mix well. Cover and leave it at room temperature for 10-12 hours.
  3. Dissolve the preferment with water, milk and malt extract in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer. Set aside for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  4. Add the flour to the liquid mixture. Mix all to form a dough. Allow it to sit for 20-30 minutes. Stir in the salt, olive oil and chopped rosemary into the dough and knead until the gluten develops. Turn out the dough and shape into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with a bit of olive oil and return the dough to the bowl. Put it inside a plastic bag and leave it in the fridge overnight.
  5. In the morning (about 6am) of day 3, take out the dough and fold it once and return it to the fridge.
  6. In the late afternoon (about 5pm) of day 3, take out the dough and let it warm to room temperature over the next 4-5 hours as you gently stretch and fold it. I just folded it once every hour for five hours and kept it from drying out by putting it inside the plastic bag in-between folds. The dough should be velvety smooth, moist and blistered by the time it is ready for shaping.
  7. Divide the dough into two portions and shape. I shaped one portion into a boule and one into a baton. Place the boule in a round bread basket dusted with semolina and the baton in a tray dusted with homemade soya meal. You can use the flour or semolina instead. Place each inside a plastic bag and let rise for an hour or so before putting them in the fridge for baking in the morning. Be sure to cover the dough in the fridge so it does not dry out too much.
  8. In the morning (about 8am) of day 4, heat the oven to 250C/500F. Invert the boule onto a baking paper-lined baking tray together with baton. Just before putting the bread into the hot oven, slash the tops in an asterisk with a sharp knife or a razor blade. Sprinkle some sea salt into the cuts.
  9. Place the baking tray with bread in the oven and throw a handful of ice cubes into the bottom of the oven. Close the oven door and bake for 10 minutes at 250C/500F. If you are using a fan-forced oven, then turn the oven off for 10 minutes or the fan would blow all the stem away.
  10. Now set the oven temperature at 210C/410F and bake for 30 minutes longer until nicely golden brown and crusty. Remove the bread and allow them to cool on a wire rack to room temperature before cutting.

Bread Tins 11/4/12 11:46

I always bake my own bread, I would never go back to shop bought bread. I do cheat a little and use a bread maker, and I follow a recipe from the back of a pack of bread flour...BUT...I add half a tespoon of Sesame oil to the mix once it's no longer dry...the result is a very moreish flavour that cannot be beaten :-)

Nadia 13/4/12 15:45

Angie, your bread is fantastic! Pictures make it look very tempting.
I wanted to ask how are you able to so precisely measure the ingredients (for example, 94 g flour, 56 g starter)? Do you use a chemical scale for that? Is it necessary to be that accurate with measurements with rustic bread like this?
Another question; do you start baking right out of the fridge? I always try to give dough some time to rise right before baking. Once in the heated oven, the bread will be stopped and formed by the heat. I never worked with a starter (just dreaming about it so far :), maybe it has some specifics different from yeast? Thanks on advance.:)

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 13/4/12 21:06

@Nadia
The scale I use is a standard digital kitchen scale, which can weight anything from 1gram to 5kg. I think when it comes to making artisan bread, it's rather important that your measurements are accurate.
While preheating the oven, I took the dough from the fridge, invert onto the baking sheet...etc. and when the oven is ready, I put them in the oven. So I didn't really give the dough time to rise at room temperature on purpose. And since they sat in the fridge the whole night and rose beautifully, there's no reason for me to let them rise again at the room temperature. However, you can try to proof them at the room temperature for an hour before putting them in the fridge for the night.

In the past, I had made note of your tutorial of making this wonderful starter. Unfortunately, I'm guilty of not having made enough efforts in the bread making department.

This herb bread is also a keeper and is certainly going to be among the top 10 that I'll try making when bread baking joins my advanced culinary adventure ;o)

Ciao for now,
Claudia
