White Chocolate Sourdough Bread

Ingredients
  

  • 165 g flat unfed hungry starter
  • 400 g water
  • 650 g bread flour
  • 15 g salt
  • 100 g high quality white chocolate callets or chopped chocolate

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. (Mine took about 5 hours in a 77° room. It had just about doubled but not quite)
  • Remove dough onto floured surface. Pull sides up in a stretch and fold motion to form a ball, cup & pull for tension and flip over. Let rest 20 mins.
  • Add rice flour to a banneton. Preheat oven 475 with dutch oven inside oven.
  • Flip dough over and stretch into rectangle. Spread white chocolate all around reserving a bit.Fold sides into middle like a letter -add the rest of the chocolate-and roll for tension. Cup and pull. Place seam side up into banneton.
  • Cover and let rise about 45 mins-1 hour. Can also pop in fridge after for 30 mins for easier scoring.
  • Carefully turn dough out onto parchment and score with lame. Place in dutch oven. Bake 20 mins covered and 20 mins uncovered. After the 40 mins I place a cookie sheet under the pan and lower to 450. Bake approx 9 mins more until 205-208℉.
  • Let cool before slicing!
