SEEDED SOURDOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• (9:00 a.m.)In a small container, mix the Levain ingredients and keep at 78°F (25°C) for 5 hours.
• (9:10 a.m.)Add the Seed Soaker ingredients (except the sunflower seeds) to a heatproof bowl and let soak until called for in bulk fermentation.
• (1:00 p.m)In a medium mixing bowl, add the Autolyse ingredients and mix until no dry bits remain. Cover the bowl and let rest for 1 hour.
• (2:00 p.m.)To the mixing bowl holding your dough, add the Final Mix ingredients and mix to incorporate. Then, strengthen the dough for another 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer your dough to a bulk fermentation container and cover.
• (2:10 p.m. to 5:40 p.m.)Give the dough 4 sets of stretch and folds at 30-minute intervals, where the first set starts 30 minutes after the start of bulk fermentation. Before the first set of stretch and folds, spread the seed soaker, sunflower seeds, and lemon zest (optional) over the dough. Each set of folds will help incorporate the mixture into the dough.
• (5:40 p.m.)Lightly flour your work surface and scrape out your dough. Using your bench knife, divide the dough in half. Lightly shape each half into a round shape. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, uncovered.
• (6:10 p.m.)Shape the dough into a round (boule) or oval (batard), top with a mixture of sesame, flax, and fennel, and place in proofing baskets.
• (6:20 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. the next day)Cover proofing baskets with reusable plastic and seal them shut. Then, place both baskets into the refrigerator and proof overnight.
• (Preheat oven at 8:00 a.m., bake at 9:00 a.m.)Preheat your oven with a combo cooker or Dutch oven inside to 450°F (230°C). When the oven is preheated, remove your dough from the fridge, score it, and transfer it to the preheated combo cooker. Place the cooker in the oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 20 minutes. After this time, remove the lid (you can keep it in the oven or remove it) and continue to bake for 30 minutes longer. When done, the internal temperature should be around 208°F (97°C). Let the loaves cool for 2 hours on a wire rack before slicing.

MULTIGRAIN SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Measure all ingredients into bread machine pan, in order that they are listed. Set machine for dough cycle and start.
• At end of dough cycle, remove dough to lightly floured surface and shape into loaf.
• Place in greased loaf pan, cover and let rise until bread is 1 to 2 inches above edges of pan. Alternatively, form into one or two round loaves and place on cornmeal coated cookie sheet. Be patient, sourdough without the addition of commercial yeast can take up to several hours to rise.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. The top can be brushed with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
• NOTE: To proof your starter, feed it with equal parts of flour and lukewarm water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered. This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be. If you start with 1 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.

SOURDOUGH SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Place the milk and honey in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes to remove the chill and soften the honey.
• Whisk together the milk, honey, sourdough starter, oil, salt, & all those seeds.
• Add the flours and stir to combine. Use a dough hook if you're using a stand mixer. If mixing by hand, you may need to use your hands to get everything fully incorporated.
• Remove dough from bowl. Grease the bowl. Return the dough to the bowl and flip the dough around so that all sides are greased.
• Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled (about 12 hours).
• Form into a loaf and place in a loaf pan or onto a baking sheet. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake about 45-50 minutes or until crust is slightly brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean or an instant read thermometer reads 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
• To yield 1 tablespoon of seeds per slice, cut into 16 slices when cooled. But you can make as many slices as you prefer.

SOURDOUGH GRAIN & SEED BREAD

Steps:

• ABM:.
• Place all ingredients (in order listed) in your bread machine, and set to dough cycle. When complete, form into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow to rise to doubled. Bake in 375 oven for 40 minutes, until it is golden and passes the knock test. For a more rustic loaf, you can form onto a greased cookie sheet and allow to rise, or better yet, use a baking stone if you have one! You could also allow your bread machine to follow a complete cycle, allowing it to bake in the machine.
• KA or Stand Mixer:.
• Place all ingredients in order listed, in bowl. Mix using dough hook until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Dough shoud be smooth, slightly damp. Oil a large bowl, and place dough in, swishing it around to coat.
• Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Fold dough (like you would a letter), turn 90 degrees, and repeat foldings. Allow to rest 30 minutes more. Repeat foldings.
• Form into loaf and place in greased loaf pan, or onto a greased cookie sheet. Allow to rise until doubled (2-3 hours.) Bake in a 375 degree oven for approximately 40 minutes, until it is golden and passes the knock test.
• Note #1: To proof your starter, feed it with 1 cup flour (preferably multigrain in this case) and 1 cup water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered. This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be.
• If you start with 1/2 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.
• Note #2: To use a baking stone, allow your loaf to rise on parchment paper, placed on a board. Place the stone in the oven when preheating it, allowing it 30 minutes to heat the stone. Move the loaf onto the stone using the parchment paper (you can bake it right on the paper, on the stone.).

SEEDED SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Combine all three kinds of seeds in a small bowl and add the 100g of water, allowing the seeds to soak up the water (especially the chia seeds) during the dough's autolyse stage.
• Mix the flour and water and cover the dough to autolyse for about 1 hour.
• Knead and pinch the salt and leaven into the dough. Mark the time, and cover and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
• Begin a series of 4-6 stretch and folds 20-30 minutes apart, covering between each stretch and fold, and adding in the watery seed mixture at the second stretch and fold.
• Let ferment until the dough is puffy and bubbly. From the marked time the leaven was added, this bulk ferment can be as little as 3-4 hours if your room temperature is over 80F or as long as 10-11 hours if your room temperature is under 70F. My dough fermented 5.5 hours at 77F.
• Scrape your fermented dough out onto a floured countertop. Press out the gases while you creating a rectangular shape with the dough, then fold the dough in thirds on the long side, and then in half to make a tall square shape.
• Cover with plastic and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
• Prep your counter with extra chia, sesame, and poppy seeds in a circle if you're making a boule and an oval if you're making a batard. Also, prep your banneton with flour as well.
• If you're using a tea towel to line a bowl or basket, you have the option of laying it flat on your counter, flouring it and then coating it in seeds.
• Shape your dough into a boule or batard by knitting the sides together, and then rolling and pressing the top into the middle several times until the dough is completely flipped over. OR Flip your dough over, and tuck in the sides while rotating it in a circle.
• Let the dough rest a few minutes to close the seams on the underside, then dampen the top of the loaf with a wet hand or by spraying it. Use your dough scraper to lift your boule/batard off the counter and flip it onto the layer of prepped seeds, rolling it a bit to capture as many as possible.
• Transfer the dough to your floured basket. Cover and proof until it has expanded and does not rebound as readily when poked. This could be as little as 45 minutes at room temperatures and as long as 10 hours in the refrigerator. My dough proofed for 2.75 hours in the refrigerator.
• 30 minutes before your proofing stage is over, preheat your oven to 500F (or the recommended temp for your baking vessel) with the baking vessel inside.
• Bake at 500F for 30 minutes, lid on
• Bake at 450F for 10 minutes, lid off
• Or until the internal temperature of the bread is about 205F.
