My strawberry sourdough experiment. I used my regular sourdough recipe but replaced the water with strawberry juice then folded in freeze dried strawberries and white chocolate chips after bulk fermentation.
I've done this before with blueberries, but the strawberry experiment turned out completely different. I started it in the morning and this thing had doubled in size by the time I was done with stretch and folds. After shaping it, I put it in the fridge to sit until the next morning. I checked in on it in the evening, and it was already overflowing the banneton. I pulled it out in horror and baked it right away. I've never had sourdough ready the same day.
When I did it with blueberry juice it was store bought juice, and my BF times were pretty much the same as my normal times. Maybe it was because I made the strawberry juice fresh?
Anyway, it smells amazing and tastes great, even if the crumb isn't ideal.
100g starter (fed with strawberry juice)
