Sourdough with Roasted Garlic and Laksa
leaves
I have been baking with commercial yeast for some time and
now its back to Sourdough. Since my baker friend requested for a loaf of my
bread to try, I decided to oblige him by making something flavorful. The
loaf has a 30% sourdough starter. I decided on a 75% hydration dough. I
roasted 2 cloves of garlic and threw in some laksa leaves. I must say that I
am now a fan of laksa leaves and I think it makes a nice local touch to
sourdough baking here in Singapore.
Only one loaf turn out looking acceptable.

Instead of a lame, I slashed them with a serrated knife to
see if it works out.
