Sourdough Boule#BreadBakers

After a long time baked a sourdough bread and I love sourdough breads. This boule turned out beautiful. 

Ingredients
60 Grams Active Sourdough Starter - 100% hydration
210 - 215 Grams Water
270 Grams All Purpose Flour
30 Grams Whole Wheat Flour
6 Grams Sea Salt

Method
Afternoon of Day One

Do not add all the water if you are using all purpose flour since it absorbs less water. So reserve 15 grams separately (which I did not use).

Whisk the active starter and water together in a large bowl . With your hand, mix the flour until combined. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit for an hour.
After an hour evenly disperse the salt on to dough and pinch the dough till the salt is well incorporated. Cover and keep it for 30 minutes.

Do four stretch-and-folds, 30 minutes apart, covering the dough with a plastic wrap between each "stretch-and-fold."
Cover the dough and let it rise for for about an hour at room temperature, until it nearly doubles in size.
Gently scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Shape it into a boule without deflating the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes, seam side down.

Line a round basket with a tea towel and generously sprinkle it with a 50/50 mixture of all purpose flour and rice flour.
Tighten up the dough by gently scooting it across the work surface to increase surface tension. Place the dough, seam side up, into the towel lined bowl. Cover and place into the refrigerator for 12 to 18 hours.
Evening of Day Two
Heat your oven to 225°C with a covered Dutch oven on the middle rack.
Remove the shaped loaf from the refrigerator while the oven is heating.

Place the parchment over the dough and invert the basket and remove the tea towel. Score the dough in the middle. Now carefully move the Dutch oven out of the oven and transfer the dough, using the parchment as a sling, to the Dutch oven. Cover and return the pan to the center rack of the oven.

Bake the loaf for 25 to 30 minutes, covered. Remove the pan from the oven, uncover, return the Dutch oven, to the oven, and bake it for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust is dark brown.

Cool the loaf on a wire rack for at least two hours before slicing.

Slather with butter or jam and enjoy!!

Baked Feta Pasta (Viral TikTok Recipe)#BakingBloggers

This dish is made pasta with cherry tomatoes, lots of basil and feta cheese , when baked is creamy, delicious. This pasta recipe has taken the culinary world by a storm! It's so easy to put together and is the perfect dish for weekend dinners and the whole thing is done in about 45 minutes with not much of chopping and washing of many dishes!

I wanted to make this recipe for a long time, but, some how because of too many restrictions on timings of stores being kept open, it's not easy to get many ingredients.

Serves 3 as a complete meal
Ingredients 
500 Grams Cherry Tomatoes
1 Small Onion - sliced
3 Big Garlic Cloves - finely chopped

½ Cup Olive Oil
¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt
¼ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
¼ Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/4 Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
200 Grams Feta Cheese
225 Grams Dried Pasta - of your choice
A handful of basil leaves- cut into chiffonades

Method

Place cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves in a baking Pyrex dish in a single layer. Drizzle 1/3 cup of olive oil on it.
Season with sea salt, black pepper, chilly flakes, fresh basil chiffonades and Italian seasoning, give it a good mix.

Make some space in the center of the dish, place the block of feta cheese, drizzle the remaining olive oil on it. Cover the dish with a foil and bake in the preheated oven 180°C for 35 minutes, you will see the tomatoes are bursting and bubbling.

While the dish is baking, let's boil the pasta as per the package instructions . Drain, reserve about a ¼ cup of the starchy pasta water, if needed later ( I did not use it).

After 35 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven.
The tomatoes would have burst open and the cheese should be soft and melty. 

Mash the cheese and tomatoes with the help of a fork or spatula, then mix everything together. 

Add the cooked pasta and roughly torn basil leaves.
Toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.

It 's creamy and cheesy comfort food.
