Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Kitchen scale
- Dutch oven or bread baking stone
- Parchment paper
- Razor blade or sharp knife
- Sourdough starter
- Plastic wrap or damp towel
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 500g bread flour
- 300g water
- 100g active sourdough starter
- 10g salt
- 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour (autolyse).
- Add the sourdough starter, salt, and cannabis-infused olive oil to the dough. Mix until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 2-4 hours, or until it has puffed up.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a Dutch oven or baking stone inside.
- Use a razor blade or sharp knife to make a few slashes on the top of the dough. This allows steam to escape and helps the bread expand in the oven.
- Carefully transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) into the preheated Dutch oven or onto the baking stone. Cover with the lid (if using a Dutch oven) and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Transfer the bread to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- The potency of the bread will depend on the strength of the cannabis-infused olive oil. Adjust the amount according to your tolerance and desired effects.
- Sourdough baking times can vary based on the ambient temperature and the activity of your starter. Be patient and allow the dough to rise sufficiently.
- Store the bread in a cool, dry place. It can be frozen for longer storage.
