Black Forest Bread
Oh if only I had some stout...I had a bunch of cherries that were staring at me, and have been watching all the breads appearing with cherries in them and drooling, so I decided to make one of my favorite desserts in bread form. Black forest bread was born. Hopefully this is going to work. Can you tell school's out for summer?
- 650 g AP flour
- 200 g Whole Wheat flour
- 100 g Whole Dark Rye Flour
- 50 g Milled Flax seed
- 15 g Cocoa Powder
- 700 g water
Autolyse for a while - as long as it took me to pit the cherries and weigh the other add ins:
- 60 g sunflower seeds
- 57 g pecans (all I had left)
- 150 g fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 50 g unsweetened coconut
Mix in to autolyse:
- 30 g unsweetened greek yogurt
- 20 g salt
- 268 g levain (this ended up being a 4 stage build)
After 30 mins do Stretch and fold in the tub
Wait another 30 mins - mix in add ins and do another SF - one more SF at +30 mins
Bulk ferment until double
Divide and shape - rest overnight in fridge
In the morning I will bake in Dutch Ovens
The dough smells divine....hoping the bread will be.

I'm going to try something else with coconut. It adds just a little bit of sweetness
