Categories     sourdough

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

480 Grams (4 Cups) Bread Flour
360 milliliters (1 1/2 Cups) Cool Water
100 grams Sourdough Starter
10 grams Sea Salt
3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix with a fork until just combined. The dough should be together in one mass, but it will look shaggy and bumpy.
  • Let the dough rest for an hour.
  • Using a spray bottle filled with water, mist your clean countertop. Wet your hands and wet the top of the dough ball with the spray bottle. Turn the dough out onto the wet counter surface. Scrape out the bowl and rinse the inside of the bowl really well. Leave the bowl wet.
  • Stretch and fold the dough. Stretch the top of the dough over the bottom, side over side, and bottom over top. Place the dough back in the bowl with the seam side down. Let the dough rest for 2 hours.
  • Using a spray bottle filled with water, mist your clean countertop again. Wet your hands and wet the top of the dough ball with the spray bottle. Turn the dough out onto the wet counter surface. Scrape out the bowl and rinse the inside of the bowl really well. Leave the bowl wet.
  • Stretch and fold the dough. Stretch the top of the dough over the bottom, side over side, and bottom over top. Place the dough back in the bowl with the seam side down. Let the dough rest for 2 hours.
  • Using a spray bottle filled with water, mist your clean countertop again. Wet your hands and wet the top of the dough ball with the spray bottle. Turn the dough out onto the wet counter surface. Scrape out the bowl and rinse the inside of the bowl really well. Leave the bowl wet.
  • Stretch and fold the dough. Stretch the top of the dough over the bottom, side over side, and bottom over top. Place the dough back in the bowl with the seam side down. Let the dough rest for 2 hours.
  • Clean and dry the counter surface you're working on. Sprinkle some flour on the surface of your counter and coat your hands in a bit of flour.
  • Sprinkle flour on the top of the dough ball. Gently flip the dough out onto the floured surface so that it is seam side up, floured side down.
  • Gently stretch out the dough, and fold it again. Fold side over side and top over bottom. Then flip the dough over so that the seam side is down on the counter. Tuck under any parts of the dough you need to form a nice circular shape. Leave the dough on the counter, sprinkle some flour on the top of the dough, and cover with a clean towel.
  • Let the dough rest for 1 hour.
  • Sprinkle a little more flour on the top of your pre-shaped dough and on the counter around the dough. With your hands coated in flour, flip the dough over so that the seam side is up again.
  • Gently stretch out the dough, and fold it again. Fold side over side and top over bottom. Then flip the dough over so that the seam side is down on the counter. Tuck under any parts of the dough you need to form a nice circular loaf shape. This is the final shaping so take your time with it.
  • Coat a proofing basket with flour. Be generous, as you do not want it to stick. You can also use a bowl lined with a towel and a generous amount of flour.
  • Flour your hands and swiftly pick up and flip your dough into the basket. Smooth side down, seam side up.
  • Cover and place in the fridge overnight for 8-12 hours.
  • After 8-12 hours in the fridge, preheat your dutch oven with the lid, in your oven at 450° F. (see notes on temperature)
  • Once your oven is preheated, carefully remove your dutch oven and place the lid to the side. *Don't forget that the pot and the lid are both very hot!*
  • Cut a large square of parchment paper and place it on the counter. Turn your dough out onto the paper so that the seam side is down and touching the parchment paper.
  • Score the dough using a very sharp knife or a scoring tool.
  • Picking up all four corners of the parchment paper, move your dough into the dutch oven.
  • Place the lid on the dutch oven and bake at 450° F for 30 minutes.
  • After baking covered, remove the lid and bake for another 30 minutes at 450° F.
  • Remove your finished loaf from the dutch oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour.

RED ONION SAUERKRAUT



Red Onion Sauerkraut image

Categories     Onion     Vegetable     Side     Valentine's Day     Fall     Gourmet     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion (about 1 pound)
3 whole cloves
5 juniper berries*
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 1/4 medium head)
a 1-pound package sauerkraut, drained
3 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 bay leaf
*available in spice section of supermarkets

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet (measuring about 12 inches across and 2 1/2 inches deep) heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion with cloves and juniper berries, stirring, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add cabbage, sauerkraut, sugar, wine, vinegar, and bay leaf and simmer stirring occasionally and adding water if mixture becomes dry, until cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes. Sauerkraut may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Discard bay leaf and serve sauerkraut at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for one that is naturally fermented and has a tangy, sour flavor.
  • Squeeze the sauerkraut well before using it in the bread. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the bread from becoming too wet.
  • If you don't have any caraway seeds, you can substitute another type of seed, such as fennel seeds or dill seeds.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut onion bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sauerkraut, and it is also a healthy and hearty bread that is packed with flavor. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special bread to serve at your next party, sauerkraut onion bread is a great option.
