... Read moreSourdough bread is not only a wholesome and flavorful choice but also offers endless possibilities with various inclusions. Popular options include seeds, nuts, dried fruits, and herbs, which can enhance the flavor and texture of the bread. To get started, ensure you have a well-fed sourdough starter ready to leaven your bread. When incorporating inclusions, consider adding them during the bulk fermentation stage to allow for even distribution and absorption throughout the dough. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites – walnuts and cranberries make a sweet treat, while olives and rosemary lend an aromatic touch. Additionally, understanding the hydration levels in your dough is essential when adding inclusions, as some ingredients may absorb moisture. Keeping your dough consistent will help in achieving that perfect crust and crumb.
