Print

Nothing beats a salty, tangy olive sourdough that’s been freshly baked at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare your starter the night before

  2. 2

    The next morning, mix the flour and water (reserve 20g for step 3). Autolyse for at least 1hour or until your starter is ready

  3. 3

    Add the levain. Mix. Add the salt and remaining water. Mix and perform slap and folds until the dough is smooth and everything is evenly combined

  4. 4

    Cover and let the dough rest for 30mins. Then give the dough 2-3 sets of stretch and folds, each ~30mins apart

  5. 5

    Laminate the dough to incorporate the olives

  6. 6

    Continue to bulk ferment and perform coil folds roughly every hour until the dough is ready (I did 3 rounds)

  7. 7

    Shape and place into a banneton. Cover and place into the fridge for an overnight cold proof. Mine was 18hrs

  8. 8

    The next morning, score and bake at 500F for 20mins in a dutch oven with the lid on, 25mins at 450F lid off (times may vary baked on the size of your loaf). Let cool before slicing
