Decided to try out a tie dye loaf for Easter! My boyfriend had to cut it open tonight so we would know if it worked or turned brown.
First time trying to dye my sourdough and I used regular food coloring, but next time I want to try natural dyes. Super excited it actually became bread!!
Recipe: 50g sourdough starter (mine is part whole wheat), 350g water, 10g salt, 500g bread flour. I doubled this to make 2 and it made it easier to split into 4 bowls for the colors. Mix the coloring in when you do sourdough starter and water, I did about 5-6 drops of coloring. I did 2 sets of stretch and folds, then plopped the blobs of colors into two bowls, then bulk ferment for about 7 hours. I then did my shaping, let sit for another hour, 1 more shape and into my preheated dutch oven at 450F covered for 30 min and uncovered for 15-20min. It should be 209F internally when ready! Let sit for 2 hours and then we cut it!
