Ingredients
Scale
- 45 grams sourdough starter, ripe and bubbly
- 45 grams water
- 45 grams bread flour
- 120 grams levain (prepared above)
- 340 grams water
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 4 grams vanilla extract
- 2 grams almond extract
- 10 grams salt
- 500 grams bread flour
- 70 grams jimmy sprinkles (traditional waxy type)
Instructions
- Combine the sourdough starter, water, and flour in a bowl to create the levain. Let it sit at a temperature of 78-80°F for 3-4 hours until it has doubled and peaked.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the levain, water, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Then, add the salt and bread flour, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Rest for 30 minutes covered.
- Over the next 1.5 hours, perform 4 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes, adding the sprinkles during the second set. Ensure the dough is smooth and elastic by the final set.
- Allow the dough to rise for 2-2.5 hours at 78°F, until it has puffed up by about 40% with visible bubbles.
- Carefully tip the dough onto a counter and shape it into a ball, letting it rest uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Flour the top of the dough, flip it over, and fold the edges towards the center to create tension. Transfer it into a floured banneton or lined bowl.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 14-20 hours to develop flavor and ease scoring.
- Preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F for 30 minutes. Score the cold dough, place it in the pot, and reduce the oven temperature to 425°F. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid, lower the temperature to 400°F, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature hits 205-210°F. Allow cooling completely before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, ensure your sourdough starter is ripe and bubbly before using.
Feel free to experiment with different types of sprinkles for added fun!
Make sure to cover the dough during the cold proof to prevent it from drying out.
