Description
A vibrant and flavorful Pink Sourdough Bread made with dragon fruit powder for a unique color and taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp dragon fruit powder
- 500 grams bread flour
- 12 grams salt
- 350 grams water
- 100 grams active sourdough starter
Instructions
- Feed your starter the night before starting this recipe to ensure it is active and bubbly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and dragon fruit powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and active starter. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula until a rough, shaggy ball of dough forms.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Stretch and fold the dough by pulling one side of the dough up, stretching it about six inches, then folding it back over the main ball. Rotate the bowl 1/4 turn and repeat until a tight ball forms. This counts as one set of stretch and folds.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Repeat the stretching and folding process two additional times, spaced 20-30 minutes apart.
- Cover the dough and let it bulk ferment at room temperature for 5-7 hours until it has grown by 50%.
- Once fermented, dump the dough onto a floured work surface and fold each side into the center, then flip it over.
- Gently spin the dough clockwise to create tension on the surface.
- Transfer the dough to a banneton and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the dough on parchment paper and cover with rice flour.
- Score the dough with a razor, place it in a Dutch oven, and bake for 25 minutes with the lid on.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 22-25 minutes until lightly browned.
- Let the bread cool for 1-2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is fed and bubbly for best results.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s calibration.
- For a more intense pink color, increase the amount of dragon fruit powder.
