Ingredients

Scale

350 g water
room temperature
100 g sourdough starter
active
500 g bread flour
12 g sea salt
coarse
1 yellow onion
medium-large
2 tablespoons butter
unsalted
80 g Gouda
shredded

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and sourdough starter, mixing until well combined.
Add the bread flour and sea salt to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, caramelize the onions: slice the onion and cook it in a skillet with butter over medium heat, stirring regularly, until golden brown and soft, about 20 minutes.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and fold in the caramelized onions and shredded Gouda.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a floured proofing basket. Let it rest for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
Carefully transfer the dough to the hot Dutch oven, cover it, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes to achieve a golden crust.
Let the bread cool before slicing. Enjoy your Caramelized Onion & Gouda Sourdough!

Notes

For best results, ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning the recipe. Allow the bread to cool completely for easier slicing.
