INGREDIENT NOTES:

WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR:

  • We are using this flour, so your dough has fiber in it and gives you a little nut taste as well. Whole wheat flour will also give a shape to your bread when it bakes. Another idea for this can be spelt flour.

ACTIVE SOURDOUGH STARTER:

  • This is the basic ingredient for your sourdough bread recipe. You will add this, and it will naturally ferment the bread. Also, you will feel a tangy taste once the bread is complete. Use active dry yeast for an alternative option. But you need to change the recipe accordingly.

LUKEWARM WATER:

  • You will add this because it will help in making the dough for your bread. Also, it helps in the fermentation of the dough as well. Here you will use lukewarm water for the best results.

SALT:

  • Salt is important in your recipe because it will maintain the activity of the yeast in your dough. Also, salt will naturally improve the taste of your recipe, too.

BLUEBERRIES:

  • Now comes the main flavor of your recipe. Here, we will use blueberries to give a fruity flavor to your bread, and it will make your recipe sweeter too. Blueberries will also give you antioxidants in your bread snack. Another option for you to try can be raspberries as well.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

  • We will use this ingredient because you are not adding oil in this recipe. This unsweetened applesauce will give moisture to your bread easily. You can eliminate this if you want your bread to stay dry.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Use a big mixing bowl to add water and sourdough starter.
  2. Mix both of them so you make a smoother mixture.
  3. Include salt & whole wheat flour in the bowl as well to make a sticky dough.
  4. Now, carefully fold the applesauce and blueberries into this dough.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic & rest it for 8 hours.
  6. Then warm your oven to a temperature of 190°C.
  7. Make your loaf pan a little oily and add this dough to it & make the top smoother.
  8. Now rest it so it rises for 45 minutes.
  9. Then you will bake it for 40 minutes so it gets golden brown.
  10. After this, take your completed bread and put it over the cooling rack.
  11. Then you can cut your bread after cooling it entirely.
