poppyseed-golden raisin sourdough
this is something i’ve been working on for a while. i am honestly super proud for following through and finally keeping up with my sourdough starter and not letting it go bad, or just tossing it because it seemed like too much work. it’s actually been working so well i’ve decided to name it…. bread-ie mercury. obvs. we’re still working on perfecting the actual loaf, and playing around with oven temps, recipes, etc. i’m having a consistent issue with burnt bottoms, so if anyone knows a foolproof method… please comment and let me know! currently i’m using the no-knead sourdough recipe from sylvia fountaine at feasting at home and it’s been going really well. it’s so easy because you literally whip up the dough the night before, it proofs on the counter overnight and is ready to bake by the morning.
i’m not posting a recipe here because i’m really still working on this but just wanted to share my journey with sourdough so far, and a few pics of this delicious loaf. i decided to add golden raisins and poppyseeds and it is a hit. feasting at home’s post has completely walked me through my first few loaves and i definitely recommend following her instructions, and i also used her tips for starting my sourdough starter as well.
bonus… if you really want to take your bread to the next level, top it with this cultured butter from ny times. so so easy, and way better than store bought butter, imo.
