To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook sourdough bread using 6 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Sourdough Bread:
- Get 8 oz "Fed" Sourdough Starter
- Prepare 12 oz warm water (100-110F)
- Take 2 tsp active dry yeast
- Prepare 1/2 oz sugar
- Get 2 1/2 tsp salt
- Prepare 21 1/4 oz all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
Making sourdough bread doesn't have to be complicated. This is one of the simplest sourdough breads you can make. I think it's the best, too! I've fed my starter, so let's see what happens.
Steps to make Sourdough Bread:
- Combine all ingredients in mixer. (Referred to as "straight dough method")
- Ensure to scrape down sides of bowl to ensure all ingredients get incorporated.
- With dough hook, mix on medium low speed (2 or 3 depending on mixer) for about 8-12 minutes until a nice soft dough ball forms. This develops gluten in the bread. Dough should pull away from sides of bowl (known as cleanup stage)
- Dough should be tacky feeling. If it seems to tacky, add small Mounts of flour a little at a time while kneeding. Don't add to much extra
- Note: I add more starter than what recipe calls for; I put about 10-12 ounces of starter based on how I feel, how my starter smells and looks, and just because I can, I started adding more on occasion to experiment to see how different the bread turns out. To me a little more starter makes bread turn out better. Feel free to give it a go if you feel daring.
- Place dough into a large lightly greased bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 90 minutes.
- Gently divide dough in two. It will deflate a little.
- Gently shape the dough into two oval loaves, or for longed loaves, two 10" to 11" logs or baguettes. Place on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise until very puffy, about 1 hour,
- Note: I used two cloche to do bread in. This is a stone container that will give that stone oven bake to the bread and gives a great crust to it. I make my two logs and place in stone cloche then cover for the second rise. After rise I remove top, cut my slashes on top And lightly spray water from a spray bottle then recover for the bake. This creates a steam that helps develop bread and crust.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Spray loaves with lukewarm water. Cut 2 or 3 slashes diagonal across top. Don't go to deep
- Bake bread 25-30 minutes. If using cloche, uncover for last 5 minutes of bake to allow crust to be one a deep golden brown
- Remove from oven and cool on rack before cutting
- Enjoy!!!
