Wild Rice and Cranberry Dutch Oven Sourdough Bread

Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup cooked and cooled wild rice
  • 1/3- 1/2 cup craisins
  • 3 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add warm water, sourdough starter, wild rice, craisins, and mix to combine.
  • Add in the bread flour and mix to form a shaggy dough. Cover and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
  • Sprinkle salt over dough and pinch it in with your fingers. Lift up one section of dough, stretch, and fold it over the top. Turn the bowl 90° and repeat stretching the dough and folding over the top. Repeat this twice more. Then flip the dough over and cover. Let rest for 30 min.
  • Repeat the series of stretches and folds every 30 minutes for a total of 5 rounds.
  • Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours.
  • Dump out onto a lightly floured surface and pull in the edges to form a round. Flip the dough over and twist and tuck to create tension on the dough.
  • Place into a floured banneton and let rest for 1-2 hours. A bowl lined with parchment paper or a thin towel and floured will also work.
  • Place the dough in the fridge to let rise over night.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 450°F with a dutch oven inside. Flip the dough onto a piece of lightly floured parchment paper and score the dough with a scoring blade or sharp knife.
  • Place the dough into the hot dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes covered. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Place a baking sheet on the rack below the dutch oven to help prevent the bottom from getting too brown.
  • Cool for at least 1 hour on a cooling rack before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
