Instructions
Weigh out all your ingredients.

Make the sponge:
1. Heat up 1/4 cup of warm water (about 105-115 F.), add a pinch of sugar, and 1 pack of yeast; Let the yeast hydrate for about 5-10 minutes.
2. Add the 1/4 cup of bread flour to the yeast/water/sugar sponge; while the sponge is developing and the yeast is multiplying start working on the rest of the recipe.

3. Put the corn flour and or rye flour in a bowl.
4. Add boiling water over the corn flour (and rye flour if making the corn and rye Broa) and stir until all the flour has been hydrated. Let it cool to room temperature. About one hour



5. Add the bread flour, salt, sponge and knead the dough by hand until it forms a bread dough about 3-5 minutes.
6. Shape the dough into a boule. Then sprinkle the top and bottom of the dough with flour.
Cover the dough with damp Let the dough proof on the kitchen counter under a dish cloth. At least 4 hours (ideally the temperature should be between 80 and 85°F during proofing). Or up to this point you can make it the day before and let it proof overnight for 8 to 12 hours around (70-75°F)

5. Pre-heat the oven to 500°F. If you have a baking steel or pizza stone, you should use that.
Bake the first 20 minutes on 500°F, then turn it down to 430°F
Keep baking until the bread is 195-205°F inside. About another 20 minutes (Total cooking time is about 40 minutes).
Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
