Sourdough croissant loaf

Sourdough croissant loaf

Pull out your starter from the fridge and Feed starter the night before
feed: 

-70 grams water
-80 grams for flour

Next morning feed again (dump out half first, I use this part to make focaccia)
Then feed again with 

-70 grams water
-80 grams for flour

2-3 hrs later when starter is ready, mix the dough
(This will make 2 loaves) 

-160 grams starter
-730 grams warm water
-20 grams salt
-1000 grams flour

Let rest for 30 minutes then Stretch and fold the first time. 

Wait another 30 minutes then add ½ cup grated butter (a bit each stretch and fold, I just press into the dough lightly and then stretch and fold, repeat)

Wait another 30 minutes then do a set of coil folds. 

Bulk ferment for about 4 hours covered.

Then cut the dough in half and form 2 loaves . 

(I put into parchment paper lined loaf tins.) 

Cover and Cold proof overnight in the fridge.

In the morning preheat oven to 425°

Score the loaf, then spray with water and cover with another loaf tin. 

Bake in oven for 15 min.

Take the top tin off and lower oven temp to 375° for 25 min. 

When finished, rub a bit of butter on the top (if you like the top to be a little softer instead of chewy) and remove from loaf tin to let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hrs before cutting into. 


ENJOY!
