Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with 325g of room-temperature filtered water and whisk until dissolved.
- Add 500g bread flour, 30g sugar, 10g salt, and 30g freeze-dried strawberry powder. Mix to form a shaggy dough.
- Gently fold in 30g chopped dried strawberries and 5 oz white chocolate chips into the dough.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform a series of stretch and folds every 30 minutes for a total of 2 hours.
- Cover the dough and let it ferment for 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a round or oval loaf.
- Transfer the shaped loaf into a proofing basket, cover, and refrigerate overnight for 12-18 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the dough onto parchment, score the top, and place it into the preheated Dutch oven, cover it, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
Use a fresh starter and allow dough to cool completely for best texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
