Hello guys, here we are with another amazing recipe. This time with the beautiful double color spinach and garlic bread
Doughs have to be prepared simultaneously.
spinach dough
1 kg Kialla organic white flour
400 gr water
500 gr spinach
20 gr salt
10 gr malt (not essential)
200 gr sourdough starter
Very simply start by blending in a food processor or with a stick blender the cold water and the spinach.
Now mix by hand or with the dough machine flour, water and spinach mix and salt. Knead only until the dough is mixed enough to stay together.
Rest over night or as long as you can. The longer the better for a nice elastic dough. This process is called Autolysing.
Next step is to add malt and starter. And knead for about 8 minutes. Or until the starter has been completely mixed through ( if you do by hand).
Now put the dough aside and start the classic folding technique to obtain the airy crumb.
