How to Make Sourdough Plum Almond Bread
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl add sourdough starter and water (350g) and then combine bread flour, rye flour and spelt flour Mix until fully incorporated.
Then after 30 minutes incorporate salt and 20g water and set aside.
Step 2: Bulk Fermentation
Allow the dough to ferment for 4 hours at room temperature. Perform 1 to 2 of stretch and folds every hour during the first 2 hours.
Step 3: Add Plums and Almonds
Laminate the dough and gently incorporate diced plums mixed with cinnamon and almonds into the dough. Be careful not to crush the fruit excessively. Fold the dough into a letter shape and set aside for 1 hour.
Step 4: Shape the Dough
Then shape the dough into round or oval and transfer to banneton and set aside for overnight for rest of proofing.
Step 5: Cold Proof
Refrigerate overnight for 8 to 12 hours. This slow fermentation develops deeper flavor and improves dough handling.
Step 6: Bake
Preheat your Dutch oven to 475°F (245°C).
Transfer the dough prepared pre heated Dutch oven .
Bake covered for 20 minutes at 450℉ (235℃) . Remove the lid and continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 205°F (96°C).
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
