Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Starter
1. Feed the Starter: In a bowl, mix 100g of active sourdough starter, 100g of all-purpose flour, and 100g of water. Let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours until bubbly and active.
Step 2: Make the Dough
1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared starter, 500g of bread flour, 350g of water, and 10g of salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Incorporate S’mores Ingredients: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Bulk Fermentation
1. Let it Rise: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise for about 4-6 hours at room temperature, performing stretch and folds every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.
Step 4: Shape the Boule
1. Pre-shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pre-shape it into a round and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Final Shape: Shape the dough into a boule, placing it seam-side up in a floured proofing basket.
Step 5: Final Proof
1. Proof: Cover the loaf and let it proof for 2-4 hours at room temperature, or in the refrigerator overnight for a slower rise.
Step 6: Bake the Boule
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
2. Score and Bake: Carefully transfer the boule onto parchment paper. Score the top with a sharp blade, then place it into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
3. Cool: Let the boule cool on a wire rack before slicing.
