Description
A delightful recipe for Pink Sourdough Bread featuring the vibrant flavor and color of dragon fruit powder.
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 starting this recipe to ensure it is active and bubbly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and dragon fruit powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and active starter. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula until a rough, shaggy ball of dough forms.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Stretch and fold the dough by pulling one side up, stretching it about six inches, then folding it back over the main dough ball. Rotate the bowl 1/4 and repeat, stretching and folding each side until a tight ball forms. This counts as one set of stretch and folds.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Repeat two additional sets of stretch and folds, spaced 20-30 minutes apart.
- Cover the dough and let it bulk ferment at room temperature for 5-7 hours, or until it grows by 50%.
- When the dough pulls away easily from the bowl and has one or two bubbles on top, it’s done fermenting.
- Dump the dough onto a floured work surface, fold each side into the center, and gently spin it clockwise to create surface tension.
- Transfer the dough to a banneton and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and cover the top with rice flour.
- Score the dough with a sharp razor, place in the Dutch oven, and bake for 25 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 22-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let the bread cool for 1-2 hours, then slice.
Notes
- Ensure the sourdough starter is bubbly and active for best results.
- Control room temperature may impact fermentation speed.
- Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven’s performance.
