Sourdough Bread Ingredients
Method
Sourdough Bread Directions
- 1
Mixing the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, water, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 2
Adding Flour and Salt
Gradually add the remaining flour and salt to the dough, mixing until fully incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- 3
Kneading
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4
First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 4 to 6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- 5
Shaping the Dough
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface, gently deflate it, and shape it into a round loaf.
- 6
Second Rise
Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for about 1 to 2 hours.
- 7
Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside for about 30 minutes.
- 8
Baking
Once the oven is hot, carefully remove the Dutch oven, place the dough inside (you can score the top if desired), cover it, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
- 9
Cooling
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
