Description

A delicious blend of sourdough and croissant techniques resulting in a uniquely layered flavor profile and a delightful texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g bread flour
  • 350g water
  • 100g sourdough starter
  • 10g salt
  • 50g unsalted butter (softened)
  • Optional: extra flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine the bread flour and water in a large mixing bowl to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Add your sourdough starter and salt; knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Incorporate the softened butter into the dough, ensuring it is fully integrated.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Transfer the risen dough to a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle, folding in thirds like a letter.
  6. Roll the dough into a rectangle and repeat the folding process two more times.
  7. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a baking pan.
  8. Let the loaf proof again for 2-3 hours until puffy.
  9. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  10. Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  11. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider making the dough the night before and refrigerate overnight.
