Description
A delightful loaf of homemade sourdough bread that offers a chewy interior and a crisp crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g Bread Flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 350g Water (lukewarm)
- 100g Sourdough Starter
- 10g Salt
Instructions
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the bread flour and warm water. Stir until fully mixed and let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.
- Incorporate the sourdough starter and salt to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead this dough for about 10 minutes, transforming it from rough to smooth.
- Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature until it doubles in size (around 4-6 hours).
- Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a log. Place it in your greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For optimal results, ensure your sourdough starter is active before using. Adjust hydration levels to your preference if needed.
