Ingredients
Scale
- 50 grams active sourdough starter
- 260 grams filtered water, around 85 degrees F
- 30 grams dill pickle brine
- 375 grams organic bread flour
- 35 grams whole wheat flour
- 7 grams fine sea salt
- 80 grams chopped dill pickles, patted with paper towel
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Mix the starter, water, and brine in a large bowl until the starter is dispersed.
- Add flours and mix with a spatula, then hand, until a shaggy dough forms. Ensure no visible flour remains.
- Sprinkle salt on the dough, cover with a damp cloth, and let sit for 40 minutes.
- Knead dough for 2 minutes to incorporate salt, then perform first set of stretch and folds. Let rest covered for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle pickles and dill over the dough, perform stretch and folds. Repeat resting and folding two more times, for a total of four sequences.
- Allow the dough to bulk ferment until it rises by around 75%, about 4 hours depending on room temperature.
- Gently move dough to a floured surface, let rest 10-15 minutes before shaping.
- Transfer dough to a flour-dusted, linen-lined banneton, seam side up, and cover. Rise in fridge overnight or on counter for 1.5 hours.
- Preheat oven with Dutch oven to 450 degrees F. Once preheated, cover dough with parchment, flip, and score.
- Bake covered for 25 minutes, uncover, reduce temperature to 435 degrees F, and bake 20 more minutes. Cool 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- Be patient during the fermentation for better flavor.
- Use freshly chopped dill for vibrant flavor.
