Ingredients:

Sourdough Tin Loaf Recipe:

  • Bread Flour: 362g
  • Rye Flour: 91g
  • Water: 340g
  • Butter: 34g
  • Honey: 34g
  • Salt: 10g
  • Levain: 55g

Method:

  1. Autolyse: Combine the bread flour, rye flour, and water. Let the mixture rest for 1 hour to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
  2. Mixing: After the autolyse, add the levain, butter, honey, and salt. Mix the dough by machine until fully incorporated about 10-12 minutes.
  3. First Fermentation: Allow the dough to ferment for 4 hours, performing 2 folds during this time.
  4. Shape: Shape the dough into a tin loaf and allow it to rise on the counter for 3 hours before placing it into the fridge.
  5. Bake: Score the bread and bake at 450-485°F with steam for 20 minutes, then vent and continue baking for another 20 minutes until the loaf is golden and fully baked.

Sandwich Assembly:

  1. Edamame Spread: Shuck the edamame and blend with cilantro, green onions, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
  2. Pickled Red Onions: Slice 1/2 red onion and pour a boiling vinegar solution (200ml water, 200ml champagne vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt) over the onions. Let them sit until cooled.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Slice the sourdough tin loaf.
    • Spread a generous layer of the edamame mixture on one slice.
    • Add pickled red onions, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and fresh sprouts.
    • Finish with a spread of Crystal Margarine on the top slice of bread for a creamy finish.
