Ingredients

Bread

Salted Butter

Preparation

Bread Preparation

1. Mixing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the sourdough starter and water to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

2. Kneading

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Bulk Fermentation

Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 4 hours at room temperature. During this time, stretch and fold the dough every hour.

4. Shaping

After the bulk fermentation, gently remove the dough from the bowl and shape it into a round loaf. Place it seam side down in a lightly floured proofing basket.

5. Final Proof

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it proof for another 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge for better flavor.

6. Baking

Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Place a Dutch oven inside to heat. Once hot, carefully place the dough into the Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

7. Cooling

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Salted Butter Preparation

8. Soften the Butter

Allow the unsalted butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it becomes soft and spreadable.

9. Mix with Salt

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with sea salt. Mix well until the salt is fully incorporated.

10. Chill

Transfer the salted butter to a small dish or mold and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
