Hello, dears! With this cozy video, I want to say goodbye to another summer and share with you the preparation of impressively beautiful and delicious dishes 🌿 and I also wish you a piercingly beautiful autumn 🍁 With love, Julia and the LWA team. 🥣 Sourdough focaccia 🥣 She’s just incredible; this bread is pure aesthetics 🤎 Recipe: 🥣500 g flour 🥣425 ml of water (25-27ºC/ 77-80ºF) 🥣150g sourdough (100% moisture at peak) 🥣10 g salt 🥣Olive oil 🥣Sea salt flakes (sprinkling on top) 🥣Flowers or herbs for decoration Dough preparation. Pour water into a large bowl, leaving 25 ml for later, and add the starter; mix quickly so that it dissolves in water. Add flour and knead into a soft dough. Mix thoroughly so that there are no dry lumps left. Cover the bowl and leave for about 30 minutes in a warm place to ferment. Then sprinkle salt on top of the dough and pour the last 25 ml of water. Mix the dough with your hands until the water and salt are mixed, and the dough turns into a homogeneous mass. Cover and leave again for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, do a warm-up - put wet hands under the dough and stretch it up - stretch one of the sides and cover the dough with it. Then turn the bowl with the dough 1/4 and repeat the same action. Then repeat until a full circle has passed. The kneading will give the dough strength. Cover the dough and leave for 30 minutes. Then repeat the stretching every 30 minutes 3 more times. During this time, the dough should rise by 40-50%, and signs of fermentation will appear - the dough will sway, and bubbles will appear on its surface. Line a pan with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the dough to a mold, and grease with olive oil, so it does not dry out. Cover the mold and refrigerate for 18-24 hours. The next day, take the dough out of the refrigerator for 1-3 hours before baking—Preheat the oven to 240ºC (220ºC convection). Drizzle the focaccia with olive oil, then use your oiled fingers to make wells all over the dough. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top and garnish with fresh herbs and flowers to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 210ºC (190ºC with convection) and bake for another 15 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown. Remove from oven and carefully transfer from pan to wire rack to cool. 🌱Green Pea Soup🌱 A very tender, juicy, and healthy soup.
