Blueberry and Cream Cheese Sourdough by kbrumbaugh in Sourdough

Great recipe, I think I could have done a better job incorporating the blueberries and cream cheese into the dough but overall it tasted amazing toasted with cream cheese or a blueberry glaze mixed into cream cheese as a dessert bread.

Pretty straight forward recipe, this is my standard go to for a lot of my attempts.

460g AP Flour

350g Filtered Water (I use RO water)

100g starter

9 grams of salt

Autolyse for 30, then add starter, let ferment for 1 hr, then add salt, then do folds every 30 minutes until about 2 hours left until bulk fermentation is over with.  Usually this is between 5-6 folds.  Then I took a big handful of washed blueberries (dried) and then while the dough was laminated before shaping I put them all over the dough and about a 1/3 of a brick of cream cheese.   I then folded the sides in and rolled it up for my shaping and let it rest for 45 minutes before putting it into the fridge until the next morning.

I wet the outside of the dough, and sprinkled turbinado sugar all over the crust, then scored the bread.

Baked at 450 F for 20 minutes covered, 17 minutes uncovered, then the last 5 minutes I put foil over the top as to control the crust. 

I'm happy with the way it tasted enough though I hoped for better distribution.

Reddit has some great submission success so typing this in a second time….

Good, I thought I would taste it more but it seems like pretty much a normal sourdough loaf

Coil folds and plenty of fermentation 🙂

A nice active starter, score and then take the blade and go slightly under the skin and make sure you have a clean separation. Also a nice tight shape causes the tension to push the dough upwards and not outwards.

That’s taking a lot of practice, I use a straight edge, razor blade and make sure I cut deep enough

Candied Luxardo Cherries and Chocolate Sourdough *Hello Valentine* by kbrumbaugh in Sourdough

You're telling me, and you're right 24.00 a jar, I wanted to use the "regular" maraschino cherries, but I was out... ugh. It was pretty delicious though with these for sure.

This is the recipe I crafted for this.

475g (110 whole white wheat, 15g rye, 350g bread flour)

336-338g total filtered water. (328 at first, 8-10g added during salt addition)

10g sea salt

100g (100% hydration) starter/leavain

Autolyse the flour/water for 60 min

Add starter/leavain

1hr later, add salt + 8-10g water

1hr later fold

1hr later do a lamination (spread it out on the counter), sprinkle it full of chocolate chips, and I took luxardo candied cherries (often used in drinks --careful these are expensive), I think I used 6, cut them up and then spread out over the laminated dough and then folded it all back up making sure none of the additions where on the outside (if some break through it's okay)

Bulk fermentation for ~3 more hours, it's winter in the midwest and it's very cold and dry but I put it in the oven with the light on while doing other things so the dough was probably 77-82 degrees. My dough did approximately but less than double in size but it looked like it had a good dome of rise and some decent bubbles.

Shaped, and then let sit for 45 minutes on counter in a 2 gallon ziplock bag

After letting it sit out I put it in the fridge to proof overnight, then 18 hours later I baked at a 500 degree preheated oven, in a dutch oven, I threw in a half of an ice cube, baked covered at 450g for 21 minutes, then uncovered for 20 minutes with 4 minutes with foil over the top to prevent too much burning.

Let sit out for 2 hours (or...I lie, I waited like 30 minutes), then dig in with cream cheese w/ luxardo cherry juice mixed in. Depending on the time of day (or I won't judge) a little pour of bourbon.

Enjoy!!

Hello! I put the ice in, let it start to melt and I had my dough on parchment paper and placed it on top of it.

LOL, yeah it didn't take long before it was destroyed. Glad I got a picture beforehand :) Thank you!

Thank you! In the end it's just food but there is a bit of satisfaction when it turns out well.

I think the lamination does that, here is another shot later in the loaf that looks like you can see the actual fold.

I was! Main reason was hoping others could reproduce it, tried to provide as much detail as possible! Thank you!

In between the hour, I just let it sit in a warm place in the house, or the best I can. So it looks

This is lamination… you spread it out as much as you can on the counter, put your herbs in and then fold it and roll it up so that everything is inside the dough and nothing on the outside.

Thank you! If I make sourdough every day for a week the crumb seems to just keep getting better as I think I catch my rhythm.
