Fig & Fennel Sourdough
2014 이후
I spent some time with a friend who was baking her own bread. It wasn't sourdough but it was delightful. I was fascinated about making my own sourdough though because we often bought good (and expensive) artisan sourdough but couldn't afford it regularly. I got online and began researching and was quickly bitten by the bug!
특징
This bread is a wonderful mix of sweet and savoury with a lovely pungent aroma, a thina nd crisp crust and a moist open crumb. The fennel adds more aroma than flavour and this bread makes a wonderful accompaniment to antipasti platters of cured meats and cheeses

My starter is 100% hydration, half light rye and half all purpose flour. I discard 2/3 at each feeding (or use for pancake sponge or banana bread), add 1/3 water. stir to incorporate, then 1/3 of my 50/50 blend.

Mix Preferment
The night before I want to make bread I set out some starter in a bowl, add water and incorporate, then add my starter flour blend and incorporate again. I then cover with a tea towel overnight.

Autolyse
1.5-2 hours before I want to start bulk fermentation I mix my flour and water until all the flour is moist and there are no lumps in the dough. I then cover and rest to allow the dough to absorb the water fully. This helps with gluten development.

Bulk fermentation
I do a series of straetch and folds (usually 4-5) during bulk fermentation, every 20 minutes for the first 3 then every 30 minutes and once it has expanded by 25% I let it rest for another 1-1.5 hours before shaping. After the first 2 stretch and folds I add the chopped dried figs and crushed toasted fennel seed.

Shape
After bulk ferment I turn the dough out onto my work surface and divide into individual loaves. I then form into a loose ball by rotating them and dragging against the work surface each quarter turn to build surface tension. I then allow to rest covered for 30 minutes before final shaping.

Final shape
I lightly flour the top of each loaf, flip with bench knife and then fold like an envelope, bottom up, left in, right in, then top down before rolling to create a seam at the bottom. After a couple minutes rest to seal the seam I place in floured brotform or banneton for final fermentation of 12-16 hours in the fridge.

Bake
I use the dutch oven method if I am baking only one loaf or baking stones with steam tray and spritzer for multiple loaves. I preheat the oven to 250C and bake under steam (covered in preheated DO) for 20 minutes then at 230C uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
