Carrot buns with sourdough

in #breadbakers5 years ago (edited)

Hi!

I'm once again promising not to post about bread for a while. But I've been baking so much and I'm getting exhausted with the baking and the posting. BUT!

This is related to the natural yeast baking challenge which everyone should check. You're probably too late to participate, but check out the other posts from the people in the comments.

But as I want to participate in everything related to sourdough, I'm doing some carrot buns today.

The ingredients:
1000g flours (330g wholegrain spelt and rest regular wheat)
650g water
200g of active sourdough
200g shredded carrots
20g salt

Mix everything in a bowl. Let it rise for 4 hours.

If the sourdough is active, it should rise real nice.

Take the dough out from the bowl and make it loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!
If you prefer, you can cut it in half and make two looooooooooooooooooong ones.

Then cut the dough into similar shaped pieces. I was lazy and didn't roll them into balls, as I wanted to test how they'll turn out like this.

I got two oven plates full of these, so 24 buns in total.

Let them rise for 2-4 hours.

When they have risen enough, put the oven to 225 degrees Celsius and bake them for 12 minutes.

Done. Minimal work, no real kneading but a bit of mixing and dough handling. Eveything you need is a sourdough starter, some love and time.

Less than 250 words. I'm too tired to write about sourdough anymore.
