Bread, fancy butter and raspberry jam. Is there a better snack? Full recipe below.

♥️ For this homemade raspberry jam I used a 2:1 ratio:

1 cup raspberries (I used frozen)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 lemon - juice, peel, pith & all -packed with natural pectin for a thick jam w/o additives :)

Mix berries, sugar & lemon. Boil & simmer 10-15 mins (longer if frozen). Let rest & cool before using.

🥖 For the bread

Ingredients To Feed Your Starter

* 7g (1½ tsp) peak sourdough starter (don’t have one? I teach how to make it on my blog & sell some of mine!)
* 42g (~3 tbsp) filtered room temp water
* 42g (~¼ cup + 2 tbsp) bread flour

Ingredients for a 900g loaf (pre-bake weight)

* 472g (3¾ cups) organic bread flour (13%+ protein)
* 90g (½ cup) peak active sourdough starter
* 328g (1¼ cups + 2 tbsp) warm filtered water
* 10g (2 tsp) sea salt

The night before, feed starter at a 1:6:6 ratio so it’s ready for the morning.
In the morning, mix water, starter & flour by hand until smooth, rest 1 hour.
Add salt, mix until dough comes together, rest another 30 mins.
Perform 4 total sets of stretch & folds (or coil folds) spaced 30 mins apart. Bulk ferment until airy, jiggly & bubbly (timing varies by kitchen temp, so watch the dough).
Gently shape & place into a banneton. Proof at room temp 2-4 hrs OR cold proof in the fridge 12-36 hrs.

I open baked this one, but included both methods:

If open baking: Use 3 oven racks (bottom, lower-middle, top). Bottom rack: 9x13 pan with lava rocks & water. Middle: baking steel/stone. Preheat oven to 500°F for 30+ mins. Score cold dough & place on steel. Add ice to lava rock pan for extra steam. Place baking sheet on top rack (to shield dough from intense heat). Bake 20-25 mins. Remove lava rock pan, continue baking 10-15 mins until golden. Turn oven off, place loaf on a cooling rack ON TOP of the steel (prevents burnt bottom). Leave in oven with residual heat 20 mins. Cool on rack 3+ hrs before slicing.

If using a Dutch Oven: Preheat to 450°F (232°C). Score cold dough & bake covered for 25 mins. Remove lid, continue baking 10-15 mins until golden. Cool on a rack 3+ hrs before slicing.

Ingredients To Feed Your Sourdough Starter

7 grams (1½ teaspoons) sourdough starter at peak
42 grams (about 3 tablespoons) filtered water room temperature
42 grams (about ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons) bread flour

Ingredients for a 900 grams loaf (pre bake weight)

472 grams (3 and ¾ cups) high-quality organic bread flour 13% or more protein content
90 grams (½ cup) active sourdough starter at peak
328 grams (1 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoons) filtered water warm to the touch, not hot
10 grams (2 teaspoons) sea salt

The night before, feed your starter at a 1:6:6 ratio so it is ready for the morning.
In the morning, begin by mixing water, starter, and flour by hand until smooth, then let it rest for one hour. Add the salt, mix until the dough comes back together, and rest for another 30 minutes.
Perform four total sets of stretch and folds (or coil folds) spaced 30 minutes apart. Allow the dough to finish bulk fermentation until it feels airy, jiggly, and bubbly.
Gently shape the dough and place it into a banneton. You can proof at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours or cold proof in the fridge for 12 to 36 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Score the cold dough and bake in a covered Dutch oven for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Let the loaf cool on a rack for at least 3 hours before slicing to set the crumb.

THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD! Hands down, no question, a must have for all sourdough bakers. Say goodbye to jars and bowls with sourdough stuck on them that are so hard to wash. Dough Dissolve is nontoxic and gentle on your hands, but though on stubborn dough.
