The Recipe

Vegan walnut sourdough bread

Ingredients

3 cups / 370 g bread flour

1 cup / 130 g whole-wheat flour

1/4 cup / 50 g active, bubbly starter

1 1/2 cups / 375 g warm water

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 cup / 125 g walnuts

Instructions

1. In a bowl combine bread flour, whole-wheat flour, starter, salt and water. Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise overnight at room temperature. Cover the bowl with a damp towel. It is ready, when the dough has doubled in size with a few bubbles on the surface.

2. Line an 8-inch bowl with a towel and dust with flour. Gently shape the dough into a round while adding the walnuts. Transfer to the bowl. Let rise for another 2 hours. Refrigerate for 1 hour (you can do this step up to 6 hours or longer). When ready to bake, allow to sit at room temperature for a while.

3. Preheat oven to 500 °F / 260 °C. Place an iron cast dutch baking pot with lid into the oven.

4. Cut a piece of parchment paper so that it fits the size of your loaf. Place the parchment paper over the dough and invert the bowl. Dust the surface with flour and use a sharp knife to make a pattern, if desired. Transfer to the baking pot (careful it's very hot) and place the lid on the pot.

5. Reduce heat to 450 °F / 230 °C. Bake for about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool down. ENJOY!
