I was so excited to use one of my brand new stencils today! The idea here was to give a brand new look to the classic boule scoring. And I must say, I’m super happy with the effect. Stencils can be very effective when decorating your sourdough bread, creating a beautiful centrepiece, whilst requiring minimal scorings skills. This boule was made using our basic sourdough bread recipe - check the link in bio for more details.

Blueberry sourdough bread 💙🌾🫐 It’s been almost a year since I last baked blueberry sourdough. Back then I added whole fresh blueberries, which didn’t quite work for me. This time I wanted to use fresh blueberries again, but tried a different method. Instead of using them whole, I mashed them in a blender before adding them into the dough. As they have such a high water content, I basically replaced half of the water in the recipe with the blueberries. I was using a high protein white bread flour, so the hydration was quite high at 82%, half of which was the blueberry puree. I mixed it all at once, except salt, some water and a spoon of honey, that were added about an hour later. Then followed my usual process of 1xSF and 4xCF, resting the dough 30min in between. The dough was easy to work with, very purple, and a bit sticky for the first few folds. But it did rise nicely and it didn’t need any extra time to proof (to account for the addition of the blueberries right at the start). In fact, the dough ended up slightly overproofed, as I had to extend cold retardant to 17hrs due to some commitments. The bread does taste of berries a little, and I love the softness and texture of the crumb. I may add dried blueberries into it next time though, to boost the flavour further 💜 Spec 140g starter at peak 700g white bread flour (15% protein) @marriagesflour 280g water 280g fresh blueberries 14g salt + 20g water 1 tbsp honey Happy weekend everyone! 💜💙 For more sourdough-related content visit 🔗sourdoughfever.com . . . . . #breadscoring #breadart #sourdoughart #sourdough #sourdoughbread #artisanbread #lovebaking #homebaking #baker #levain #homemadebread #chleb #breadstagram #chlebnazakwasie #sauerteigbrot #panmasamadre #homemade #sourdoughclub #blueberries #blueberrysourdough #trysomethingdifferent

Sourdough Wreath 🌾🧡 To shape the wreath, you have a couple of options. You can shape it just before the cold retard and use a basket with a riser to maintain the shape during proofing. The second option, which I prefer, is to proof the dough as a boule first and then shape the wreath by making a hole in the center just before scoring and baking. I have tried both methods, and I find the second option better for producing a more even shape for the wreath. For the dough, I’ve used a 60/40 blend of white and whole wheat flour with 75% hydration. I find this level of hydration optimal for shaping the wreath. And the higher whole wheat flour content means the dough doesn’t expand as much during baking, resulting in a more uniform appearance for the wreath. This design was inspired by the amazing @bread_spiration. Follow her if you haven’t already! 😍 Wishing you all a sunny weekend ☀️☀️ For more sourdough-related content visit 🔗sourdoughfever.com

Sourdough Easter Eggs inspiration 🐣🌾🤍 As Easter is fast approaching, I thought I’d try something new for the occasion. 🐥 For the eggs I have used white and black sesame seeds and flaxseeds, but you can experiment with any kind you like (smaller seeds might work better for this particular design). To make the eggs stand out I have dusted the dough with some flour before the seeds were applied. Now, you don’t want the flour where the seeds will go (they won’t stick to the surface if there is flour on the dough), so before dusting, I used paper cutouts to cover the designated areas. Sorted! If you want to try this out, here are the steps: 🐥 While the oven is pre-heating, prepare 3 egg-shaped paper cutouts 🐥 Flip the dough out of the basket and remove as much flour from the surface as possible 🐥 Spray the dough with some water 🐥 Arrange your egg-shaped cutouts 🐥 Dust the dough with some flour 🐥 Remove the paper cutouts 🐥 Arrange your seeds in the spaces without the flour 🐥 Score the pattern and the main expansion 🐥 Bake as soon as you finish Happy weekend baking! 👩🏻‍🍳🌾🤍 . . . . . #breadscoring #breadart #sourdoughart #sourdough #sourdoughbread #artisanbread #lovebaking #homebaking #baker #levain #homemadebread #chleb #breadstagram #chlebnazakwasie #sauerteigbrot #panmasamadre #breadporn #homemade #sourdoughclub #easter #eastereggs
