Ingredients
Scale
- 500g bread flour
- 375g water
- 100g sourdough starter
- 10g salt
Instructions
- Combine bread flour and water in a mixing bowl. Mix until there are no dry spots. Let it rest for 30 minutes (this is called autolyse).
- Add the sourdough starter and salt to the dough. Mix until well incorporated.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the dough in a Dutch oven or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Store your sourdough at room temperature in a paper bag or a bread box. Consider freezing if not consumed within a few days.
