This Strawberry Almond and Camembert Sourdough Loaf is loaded with strawberry flavor, perfect pieces of camembert cheese and crunchy chopped almonds. It has a nice crusty crust, a chewy texture, and awesome flavor! *You need two overnight resting times for this bread.
Ingredients
Levain:
- 3 ounces starter
- 5.25 ounces water
- 8 ounces flour
Final Dough:
- all of the levain
- 9.25 ounces flour
- 3.25 ounces water
- 4.75 ounces strawberry puree
- 3.25 diced strawberries
- 1.75 ounces chopped almonds
- 3 ounces camembert cheese, chopped roughly
- 0.125 ounces salt
Instructions
- The night before baking, mix together the ingredients for the levain and let sit on the counter.
- Mix together the levain, flour, water, salt and strawberry puree and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured counter, stretch out the dough into a long rectangle-ish shape.
- Sprinkle the diced strawberries, nuts and cheese evenly across the dough, and fold/roll the dough over top (which ever method you want to do this is fine, you just need to get it in there).
- Place the dough in a large oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rest for 1 hour.
- Stretch and fold the dough, place back in the bowl and allow to rest for 1 hour.
- Make another stretch and fold, place back in the bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next morning, pull the dough out of the fridge and place in a well floured couche.
- Allow the dough to proof and come to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 500 F and prepare for your steam.
- While the oven is preheating, dump the dough out onto a floured parchment paper and score.
- Place the bread in the oven and turn the oven down to 450.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the lid if you are using one.
- Bake another 10-20 minutes, until nicely golden brown.
- Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
You need two overnight resting periods for this bread.

Wow..wow..wow!! The minute I saw this on Pinterest..I was like..Pin first or leave a comment? lol I LOVE IT! It's gorgeous! The best part is it's fruit, nuts AND cheese in a beautifully crusted/crumbed sourdough loaf! I want to make a thinly sliced turkey sandwich with it now! I'm so glad you baked with us..finding the time in between so many challenges. I'm low motivation the past few months, but I will be joining in with you girls a lot more when I get over it. xo
BEAUTIFUL bread and really love the flavor combination. I am a sucker for any thing with cheese. I hope to join you baking something sourdough. I think it's a lovely idea!! Thank you so much for baking with Twelve Loaves, Jenni! xx
This sounds absolutely divine...the cheese definitely puts it over the top. I think it only fair if you are joining us in #TwelveLoaves that you have to send us each a loaf. OK? Pretty please?
Camembert and strawberries: what a great idea. I like both of them, in particular camembert.
Wow, Beautiful loaf of bread! Strawberries, nuts and cheese, sounds so delicious! I think that I would eat it just as it is!
