Ingredients

Scale

Main Dough:

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup active sourdough starter

Mix-ins:

  • 1 cup shredded gouda cheese
  • 1 cup caramelized onions (completely cooled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine flours, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add water and sourdough starter, mix to form a dough. Rest for 30 mins.

  3. Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in onions and gouda during the final stretch and fold.
  4. Shape and Proof: Shape dough into a loaf, proof in the fridge overnight.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven with Dutch oven inside. Bake the loaf until golden brown.
