Crunchy Hemp Sourdough
Crunchy Hemp Sourdough
Hemp Connect Hemp Flour lends its earthy wholesome flavours to a crunchy hemp sourdough, best enjoyed fresh out of the oven!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of Hemp Connect Hemp Flour
3/4 cup sourdough starter
1 Tbsp honey or agave
1 tsp salt
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large bowl
Knead for 10 minutes, the dough will be sticky, and may not quite form a ball
Coat a clean bowl in oil, transfer dough to the oiled bowl
Cover with a damp tea-towel or waxed wrap
Set aside for 3 hours in a warm spot, to allow for the first rise
Turn the dough, and gently fold up the sides as follows: At one corner, grab the dough and pull out and over and press into the middle of the dough. Turn the bowl 90 degrees (a quarter turn) like you are folding the corners of a napkin into the center
Repeat this process several times
Cover again with a damp tea-towel or waxed wrap
Set aside for 2-3 hours in a warm spot
Before the rise period is up, place a cold dutch oven in a cold oven and pre-heat to 230 degrees Celsius
Prepare your counter-top by lightly dusting it with flour
Using the same technique as in step 6, pull up the sides and press them into the centre, repeat this step several times
Flip the dough over- it should appear to be a smooth ball, place onto a dusted piece of baking paper and dust the top of the dough
When the oven is at temperature, remove the dutch oven and place the dough (on the baking paper) inside the dutch oven
Replace the dutch-oven lid and return to the oven
Bake for 15 mins
After 15 mins remove the lid of the dutch oven
Bake for another 12 mins or until golden topped, when you tap on the bread it should sound hollow!
Remove the dutch oven (from the oven) and set aside on a heat proof surface for 20 mins to rest the bread
Enjoy!
