Manchego Sun-dried Tomato Parmesan loaf
Built off a "Country Semi-sourdough" yeasted bread, I made this bread on Saturday.
Formula:
496G KAF AP
339g H2O
138g 100% Starter
31g Rye
31g Whole wheat
12 g salt
2.25 g active dry yeast
85g manchego cheese cubed
85g oz parmesan grated
50 sun-dried tomatoes
Mix H2O, starter and flours
Autolyse for 1 hour
Add salt and yeast
Knead for about 3-5 mins
Add in cheeses and tomatoes, adding flour as needed
knead for 10 mins
Bulk proof 1.5 hours with S&F @ 30 and 60 mins
pre-shape and rest for 15 mins
shape and into bannetons for 1 hour
Preheat to 500F
Sprinkle 1 oz grated manchego on top
Bake in dutch oven 20 mins covered at 475F, 25 mins uncovered @ 475 F
Loaf weighed 1.2 kilogram before baking. Crumb was finer than usual, but very soft and very flavorful. Great taste and texture. Start to finish in 4 hours.
Comments
James, your bread looks great and must taste great too. I love bread with cheese so you have my vote already.
I love the way the parmesan cheese looks melted on the outside of the dough.
Regards.
