It turns out that sourdough focaccia is my new favourite go-to bread to make!
I am new to sourdough and have tried different techniques so as this is individual preference when you know your starter and dough, at this point I am looking at the proportions. I always leave dough over night in the fridge and bake it in the morning
for this one I have used:
Ingredients
100g starter (mine is made with white bread flour)
250g water
100g Shipton Mill white bread flour no 1
350g Shipton Mill Fig, spelt and pumpkin seed
10g pink salt
and the results were amazing

Our fig, spelt and pumpkin seed flour blend is made using sun-dried Calimyrna figs which are prized for their natural sweetness and flavour, grown near the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey. Harvested by hand....
Spelt is an ancient grain closely related to Emmer. The origins of spelt can be traced to Neolithic times between 6000 – 5000BC.
Spelt grain is a cereal that has been found by archaeologists in many prehistoric sites and later became popular in Roman times.
Into each of the five seeds contained in this flour, the plants have concentrated all the nutrients for future life.
Our bread proving baskets (bannetons) are made from sustainable birchwood cane or rattan. They are used for the fermentation of the dough and forming bread loaves. Prepare the basket by dusting it with flour, then put the dough in the basket and leave to rise. The small basket is suitable for making 500g loaves, the large basket is suitable for making 1kg loaves.

This is a great staple gluten free loaf which I bake regularly every week. It's full of flavour and delicious eaten during the next 24 hours. After that it makes excellent toast for several days or can also be sliced and frozen for toasting at any time.
Crusty white dutch pot cooked sour dough - if you have ever despaired at making your sour dough rise despair no longer, i was once you, but this is my perfected technique!
Our everyday loaf full of body and texture. We eat it as toast with peanut butter and as sandwiches - ham, cheese, mustard and salad or roast chicken, stuffing and mayo our favourites! Never fails for a chewy, heavily grained, substantial wholemeal loaf.
Makes two 500g loaves of moist rye/white chewy, malty sourdough. Great toasted with jam or eaten as it is with cheeses, smoked fish, or whatever takes your fancy.
