Ingredients
-
500g bread flour
-
400g water
-
50g active sourdough starter
-
10g Himalayan salt
-
A generous handful of Parmesan chunks
-
A generous handful of Asiago chunks
-
Drizzle of hot honey
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, water, sourdough starter, and Himalayan salt. Mix until no dry flour remains. Let the dough rest (autolyse) for 1 hour.
-
Perform 4 sets of coil folds over the next 2 hours. Space them out evenly to allow the dough to relax between folds.
-
Allow the dough to bulk ferment overnight at 65°F for about 10 hours. The dough should rise and develop a slightly airy texture.
-
Once fermentation is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Gently laminate it by stretching it out and sprinkling the Parmesan and Asiago chunks evenly over the surface. Drizzle with hot honey.
-
Fold one third of the dough over the center, add more cheese and honey, then fold the other third on top. Roll up the dough gently.
-
Place the shaped dough into a proofing basket and let it rest while preheating your oven.
-
Preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F.
-
Transfer the dough to the Dutch oven. Bake covered for 45 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Notes
This recipe combines the nutty, salty flavors of Parmesan and Asiago with a sweet, spicy kick from hot honey, all wrapped in a beautifully crusty sourdough loaf. Perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions.
