MIni Sourdough Loaves

Ingredients
  

  • 165 g flat unfed hungry starter
  • 400 g water
  • 650 g bread flour
  • 15 g salt
  • optional: 50 grams of inclusions for each mini loaf

Instructions
 

  • Combine water and starter, mix.
  • Add flour and salt. Mix to a shaggy ball of dough. Cover and rest 30 mins.
  • Do 3 sets of stretch and folds every 30 mins. Transfer dough to an oiled cambro container and cover. Let bulk ferment until almost doubled.
  • Remove dough onto floured surface and use a bench scraper to cut into 4 equal portions bout 300 grams each.
  • Pull sides up in a stretch and fold motion to form a ball out of each one, cup & pull for tension and flip over. Let the 4 balls rest 20 mins.
  • Add rice flour to four 5-inch bannetons.
  • Flip dough over and stretch into rectangle. Add inclusions at this point if you want. I did a total of 50 grams. For the cherries and marshmallows I did 40 grams chopped cherries and 10g marshmallows. For olives/cheese I did 30g olives and 20g gouda.
  • Fold sides into middle, adding goodies, like a letter and roll for tension. Cup and pull. Place seam side up into bannetons.
  • Fridge overnight.
  • Preheat oven 475 with s baking stone on rack and metal jelly roll pan below it.
  • Carefully turn dough out onto parchment, score with a lame, and use a pizza peel to load onto stone. I did two at a time. Immediately add 1 c. boiling water to tray to create steam. Bake 20 mins then remove pan.
  • Bake 10-15 longer until done. Mine were perfectly done at the 13 minute mark!
