Description
This unique pink sourdough bread combines the mild sweetness of dragon fruit with the hearty flavor of traditional sourdough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp dragon fruit powder
- 500 grams bread flour
- 12 grams salt
- 350 grams water
- 100 grams active sourdough starter
Instructions
- Feed your starter the night before.
- Whisk together the bread flour, salt, and dragon fruit powder in a large bowl.
- Whisk the water and active starter together in a separate bowl, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Pull one side of the dough up and stretch it about six inches, folding it over the top. Rotate the bowl a quarter turn and repeat for each side until a tight ball forms. Cover and rest for another 20-30 minutes.
- Repeat the stretch and fold process two more times, allowing 20-30 minutes to rest in between.
- Cover the dough and let it ferment at room temperature for 5-7 hours.
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface, fold each side into the center, and spin it gently to create surface tension.
- Transfer the dough to a banneton, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Bake the dough in a Dutch oven for 25 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 22-25 minutes.
- Let the bread cool for 1-2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the dough the night before for easy baking in the morning. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, a cast-iron skillet covered with another pan will work.
