Description
A delightful fusion of sourdough and ripe strawberries creates a comforting and refreshing loaf, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups active sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the active sourdough starter with the water in a large bowl. Mix well until uniform.
- Add in the bread flour and salt gradually. Stir until the dough begins to form.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries, along with sugar if you’re using it. Be gentle not to crush the berries.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough feels smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape the dough into a loaf, tucking the strawberries in gently. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Allow the dough to rise again for about an hour while the oven heats.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the loaf cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Consider preparing your sourdough starter the night before for best results. You can also refrigerate the shaped dough overnight and bake fresh in the morning.
