Megan Taylor Instagram – Seeded sourdough recipe
Feed your starter when you wake up. On a feeding day I use 40g flour/40g water. After about 2-4hours it should rise and almost double.
Mix 300ml of tepid water and 100ml of your starter in your mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid bowl). Mix them together.
Add 250g of wholemeal flour and 250g of white strong bread flour together and use the kitchen aid to mix this together for about 3 minutes until completely combined and there are no flour lumps.
Leave it for an hour with a damp tea towel over the top.
Add 20-25ml of water and mix together for about 2 minutes. Then add and mix in 10g of ground salt (I use a pessel and mortar to grind rock salt). The salt will make your dough lovely a silky.
Place your dough into a big mixing bowl with your damp tea towel over the top.
Fold you dough whenever you remember for the next few hours. With every time that I fold it, I fold until it gets stiffer and tighter. I think that’s the gluten building up??
When you’ve done about 4 folding sessions you can do the laminating stage where you will stretch your dough out into a rectangle. I like to wet my table and my hands for this process so it doesn’t stick.
For your seed mix you can choose what you seeds you fancy but to make it as close to the Gail’s seeded sourdough I use black and white sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. I use a mix of these at between 80-100g.
Pour about 75% of your seeds over this rectangle. Then fold your rectangle in on itself a bit like a letter. One side into the centre. Opposite side over the top of that and repeat.
Then place this folded dough into your mixing bowl.
After about half an hour you can do another folding session where you will slowly see the seeds spreading across your dough.
When you have finished this folding and the seeds have come to the top of the ball of dough, wet your hands and wipe over the dough. Then pour your leftover seeds over the dough.
