Description
A heartfelt creation that marries tradition with contemporary convenience, allowing you to enjoy homemade sourdough bread in a single day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, and salt, mixing until well incorporated.
- Stir in the wet ingredients: Add the active sourdough starter and water. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a shaggy dough forms, ensuring no dry flour remains.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, working it until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise at room temperature for about 240-360 minutes (4-6 hours).
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to preheat at 450°F (230°C).
- Shape the dough: Gently turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
- Second rise: If using a baking sheet, place the loaf on parchment paper and cover it for about 30 minutes.
- Bake the bread: Carefully place the loaf into the hot oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
You can knead the dough the night before and let it rise overnight in the fridge for added convenience. Customize with herbs or seeds for extra flavor.
