To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have sourdough bread using 6 ingredients and 16 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Sourdough Bread:
- Prepare 375 g bread flour
- Prepare 125 g whole wheat flour
- Get 400 g g water
- Get 100 g starter
- Get 10 g salt
- Take vegetable oil
Make two fairly deep diagonal slashes in each; a serrated bread knife, wielded firmly, works well here. Remove it from the oven, and cool on a rack. Do not store it in the refrigerator. Instead, keep it covered with a towel or in a zipped plastic bag someplace that is relatively cool.
Steps to make Sourdough Bread:
- To check if starter is ready to be used, add a small piece of starter to a bowl of water. If it floats, the starter is active. This test is not always accurate.
- Mix flours together with 375 ml of water, let rest 30 minutes - 2 hours for autolyse.
- Add starter to dough and pinch into dough with hands.
- Add 10g of salt and the remaining 25 ml of water, the dough should be a little easier to mix and very watery.
- With force, slap dough onto un-floured surface and fold together 5 minutes until some strength develops and the dough can hold its form.
- Lightly oil bowl or proofing box and add dough.
- Proof dough in proofing oven set to 85 F or at room temperature.
- With oiled hands, pick up dough at middle and fold onto itself, then rotate dough 90 degrees and fold again. Repeat every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours, total of 6-8 times.
- Prepare a generously floured towel placed in shaping basket or bowl to hold the dough overnight.
- Place dough on an un-floured surface and carefully form dough into a round shape. Lightly flour and let relax 10 minutes covered with a towel.
- Rollover onto floured surface with un-floured bottom facing up, pull sides out and fold together like an envelope.
- Stitch bottom together to hold and let rest seam-side down on counter to seal. Move into basket, seam-side up, and cover with flour, refrigerate overnight covered in towel.
- Flour parchment paper, preheat dutch oven on middle rack of oven set to 500F.
- Gently roll out dough onto parchment paper and score top of dough ball with a razor blade.
- Transfer dough with parchment paper into hot Dutch oven. Bake for 15 minutes with the lid on and 30 minutes off, cook times vary.
- Knock bottom of bread to hear hollow sound if bread is fully cooked.
A bread box also works well. If you want to freeze the bread, be sure to let the bread cool completely before freezing!. Sourdough bread is made entirely using wild yeast — with a strong, active sourdough culture of wild yeast, you won't need any commercial yeast at all. Wild yeast need a little more coaxing and works a little more slowly than commercial yeast, so sourdough breads are normally mixed, shaped, and baked over the course of a day, or even. I talked all about sourdough starters: how to make one, and how to maintain one.
