Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the bread dough:
    • 1 cup active sourdough starter
    • 1/2 cup pureed fresh strawberries
    • 1/4 cup warm water
    • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    For the add-ins:

    • 1/2 cup fresh diced strawberries
    • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips

    For topping:

    1. 2 tablespoons flour for dusting
    2. Additional white chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, pureed strawberries, warm water, bread flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Incorporate add-ins: Gently fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • First rise: Shape dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape and proof: After the first rise, form the dough into a round loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a proofing basket. Cover and allow to rise for 2-3 hours.
  • Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Dust the loaf with flour and score it with a sharp knife. Garnish with additional white chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake: Transfer the dough to the preheated Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool and serve: Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to reveal its vibrant pink interior and melty white chocolate pockets.

Notes

  • This bread has a wonderfully soft texture and a slight tang from the sourdough starter. The white chocolate adds a creamy sweetness that pairs perfectly with the fresh strawberries.
  • For best results, allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to preserve its structure and prevent the chocolate from melting too much.
