Description
Did you know that sourdough bread has been treasured for generations, passed down as a symbol of tradition and craftsmanship? Today, we’re giving it a fun twist—mini loaves that are perfect for breakfast, dinner, or just a cozy snack! 🥖✨
Ingredients
- 🌾 Sourdough dough – enough for 2 loaves (already proofed and ready to bake)
- 🔥 Flour – for dusting before baking
- 🔪 Bread knife – for scoring
- 🏺 Olive oil (optional) – for an extra golden crust
Instructions
- 🔪 Divide the dough: After proofing in the fridge, cut your dough into 2 or 4 pieces to create individual mini loaves.
- 🤲 Shape the loaves: Pinch the edges together to seal each piece and form a nice round shape.
- ✍️ Score the loaves: Use a sharp knife to make decorative cuts on top—this helps the bread expand beautifully while baking.
- 🔥 Bake: Preheat a Dutch oven at 500°F (260°C) for 30 minutes. Place the mini loaves inside, cover with a lid, and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 18-20 minutes.
- 🍞 Perfect crust: Remove the lid and bake for another 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- ❄️ Cool & enjoy: Let the loaves rest before slicing—if you can resist the irresistible aroma of fresh sourdough! 😍
