Black Garlic & Charcoal-Sourdough Boule: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 25 minute

Ingredients

– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup bread flour
– 1 ½ cups water, at room temperature
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
– 1 head of black garlic, peeled and mashed
– 1 tablespoon activated charcoal powder
– 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for yeast activation)
– Additional flour for dusting


Instructions

Creating the Black Garlic & Charcoal-Sourdough Boule can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, and salt.
2. Activate Yeast: In a separate bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
3. Combine Mixtures: Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with the mashed black garlic and activated charcoal powder.
4. Mix Ingredients: Stir until a shaggy dough forms. You may need to add a little more water if the dough seems dry.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 12-16 hours.
7. Shape the Boule: After the dough has risen, gently deflate it and shape it into a round boule. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped boule onto a floured surface or a proofing basket, cover, and let it rise for another 1-2 hours until puffy.
9. Preheat Oven: About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
10. Score the Bread: Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Gently transfer the boule into it and score the top with a sharp knife.
11. Bake: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
12. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible bread effortlessly.
