Ingredients for 1 loaf:

40 g whole wheat flour
360 g bread flour (all-purpose flour)
280 g water
100 g active starter
8 g salt
(You can adjust the amount of water depending on the flour you use.)

Add-ins:

– 10 g fresh basil leaves 🌿

Dough temperature during fermentation: 23°C (73°F)
Warm fermentation: ~ 6.5 hours
Cold fermentation: ~16 hours

PROCESS:

1. Mix the water, sourdough starter, and flour until combined. Let it rest for 40 minutes (fermentolyse).

2. Add salt, mix until fully dissolved, and rest for 40 minutes.

3. Do 3 sets of coil folds with 40-minute intervals between each.
Add basil leaves using the first coil fold, lifting and folding the dough under itself to distribute the add-ins evenly.
Let it rest for 40 minutes.

After the last fold, leave the dough to ferment for 3–3.5 hours, it should increase in size and show small surface bubbles.

4. Shape the dough into a boule (round) or batard (oval) and place it seam-side up in a floured proofing basket.

5. Refrigerate overnight for cold fermentation.

6. In the morning, place it seam-side down on parchment paper, score, and prepare for baking.

BAKING:

1️⃣ Open baking (on baking steel or stone):

Preheat to 250°C (480°F) with a tray at the bottom for steam.

Transfer bread to the hot surface, pour boiling water into the lower tray, and close the oven door quickly.

Bake 20 min at 230°C (445°F) with steam, then remove the water tray and bake 15-20 min at 200°C (390°F).

2️⃣ Dutch oven:

Preheat the oven with the Dutch oven inside to 250°C (480°F).

Bake 20 min covered at 230°C (445°F), then 15-20 min uncovered at 200°C (390°F) until golden brown.

A beautiful, golden sourdough with fresh basil leaves for a unique aroma and delicate flavor. This bread is soft inside, with a thin, crisp crust, simple yet full of character. Perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or to enjoy on its own.
