Ingredients

• 325g water

• 125g sourdough starter

• Dash of vanilla extract

• Dash of lemon extract

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 3 tbsp lemon zest

• 3 tbsp poppy seeds

• 25g sugar

• 7g salt

• 500g bread flour

Steps

1️⃣ Mix everything (except flour) until milky in consistency, then add flour.

2️⃣ Rest 1 hr.

3️⃣ Do 1 set of stretch & folds (about 6).

4️⃣ Every 30 min, repeat 3 more sets.

5️⃣ Rest dough for 4–6 hrs (until doubled, depending on kitchen temp).

6️⃣ During lamination, add lemon swirl (⅓ cup sugar + ¼ cup lemon zest).

7️⃣ Bake:

• 35 min covered at 450°F

• 10–15 min uncovered at 400°F

8️⃣ Optional: drizzle with a lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice). 🍋

☀️ The result? A golden sourdough loaf with zesty layers, crunchy poppy seeds, and a citrusy swirl that melts in your mouth.

Overproofed Sourdough loaf or Perfection?
Everyone has their own goal when baking sourdough bread. Some like their crumb to be very hole-y and open, others prefer a slightly denser loaf, but I find that more and more people like a fluffy, closed crumb. One where the butter and jam won’t seep through the holes yet it’s very soft and fluffy.
