Seeded Sourdough!

I’m so dang delighted with how this loaf turned out. It’s my first time making a seeded sourdough!

Recipe:
150 g starter (bread rises slow in my house so I use more than the typical 100g)
450 g King Arthur bread flour
50 g whole wheat flour
10g salt
315 g water (low hydration tends to get me better crumbs)
40g of seeds (chia and pepita on the interior)

1. Mix all the ingredients together until things come together
2. Stretch and fold every 30 minutes for 2 hours
3. Bulk ferment until just about doubled in size
4. Pre shape on a wet counter (I prefer this to a flour dusted counter)
5. Final shaping on a wet counter and then put in fridge overnight
6. Preheat oven to 475F
7. Take bread out of fridge once oven is preheated. I don’t have a spray bottle so I just used a silicone brush to brush some water on the crust and then pushed the seeds lightly into the crust. I used chia and sesame seeds for the outside
8. Bake for 8 minutes with 2 ice cubes in the bread oven
9. Take out and do your main score
10. Bake for 21 minutes
11. Lower oven temp to 430 and take lid off of bread oven
12. Bake for 18-20 more minutes until crust is golden
13. Let cool and enjoy!
