Countless techniques to create a sourdough loaf exists. Some doughs are simply mixed, allowed to rise, shaped then baked. This session, however, will explore a technique of overnight fermentation. Keeping the yeasts active for a longer period at a lower temperature imparts a deeper fermented aroma of yeast that is much more familiar in sourdough breads. Flavour wise, the sourness is more apparent. Its crumb develops a scattered, open structure that all bread lovers appreciate at the end of the entire process.

The session will cover:

Mixing of the dough in a mixer

Stretch and fold techniques

Fermenting the dough for 16-20 hours in a banneton

Forming crusty loaves in the shape of a boule and batard

2 methods will be used:

1) Bulk fermenting overnight then shaping on the next day

2) Shaping and fermenting in a banneton till the next day.

Recipes:

Wholemeal Rye and Malt Loaf

White Country Loaf

Each participant will make 1500g of dough which makes up to 4 loaves of bread.
