Sift out the bran from dough flour, reserve 30 g for the leaven. Soak the rest, if any, in equal amount of water taken from dough ingredients.
Combine all leaven ingredients and let sit until ready, about 4 hours (29°C).
Roughly combine all dough ingredients except for the corn. Ferment for a total of 3 hours. Mix on low for 2 minutes at the 30 and 40 minute mark. Fold in the corn at the 50 minute-mark. After the bulk, shape the dough then put in into a banneton. Freeze for 1 hour before retarding in the fridge for 10 hours.
Preheat the oven at 250°C/482°F. Score and spritz the dough. Remove the dough from the fridge and bake straight at 250°C/482°F with steam for 20 minutes then without steam for 25 minutes more or until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 208°F. Let it cool for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing.
This bread is loaded with corn. Some of the corn fell out while I was slicing it… It’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The basil added a savoury touch, which I really like. The tomato is undetectable though. I should probably be less stingy with it.
