Description

A savory and interactive pull-apart bread featuring sourdough, earthy mushrooms, and a buttery glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g active sourdough starter, fed within 4–8 hours
  • 450g all-purpose flour (or 350g all-purpose + 100g bread flour)
  • 250300g warm water
  • 10g fine sea salt
  • 80g unsalted butter (plus extra for coating)
  • 300400g mushrooms (cremini or shiitake)
  • 34 cloves fresh garlic
  • Fresh thyme and parsley, finely chopped
  • Grated cheese (optional: Gruyère or Parmesan)
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and most of the water. Mix until there are no dry streaks and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Add the sourdough starter and salt with the remaining water. Mix until cohesive, perform stretch-and-folds, and let bulk ferment for 3–4 hours.
  3. Heat a skillet and sauté mushrooms in olive oil and butter, adding garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cool the mixture.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a rectangle, and cut into 1.5–2-inch pieces.
  5. Melt butter, toss dough pieces for an even coat, layer in a greased bundt pan with mushroom mixture, and let proof for 45–60 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 35–45 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature is around 200°F (93°C).
  7. Let cool for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and serve warm.

Notes

To make it dairy-free, replace butter with high-quality olive oil. For added richness, consider adding a single egg to the dough.
