Fig sourdough bread (and a new home)
It’s been more than a month since my last post, but it was impossible to fit baking rituals into the chaos of the last few weeks. My wife and I have just moved from Belo Horizonte to São Paulo and for a few weeks our routines were reduced to managing boxes and organising our stuff. But I finally found some time to refresh my sourdough starter and put it back to work. It's mission: to make a fig sourdough bread.
Julia was asking for a fig bread for a while and I decided to try making it. As I didn’t have a recipe to follow, I took the naive approach and simply added some chopped dried figs to my basic bread recipe.
The result was quite good, but next time I’ll try doubling the amount of figs to get a stronger flavour — the first attempt was a bit too subtle for my taste. I also missed the aesthetically pleasing effect of whole dried figs in the bread, so I think I won’t chop them up next time.
