Sourdough Bread!
1 loaf
“Wet” Ingredients:
100 grams sourdough starter
300 grams water
Instructions:
- Add the starter and water into a mixing bowl and mix together.
“Dry” Ingredients:
500 grams flour
1o grams salt
Instructions:
- Add the flour to the wet ingredients and stir until the mixture is combined, but raggedy looking. You need to let it set on the counter in this state for 1 hour.
- Poke holes in your dough and sprinkle the salt over the top. Knead the salt into the dough. 2 minutes of kneading should do the trick. Put the dough back in the bowl for 30 minutes- 1 hour. (Time is dependent on the room’s temperature. If it’s warm, 30 minutes. If it’s cold, 1 hour.)
- Knead the dough by stretching it into a long piece. Roll it up, and then stretch it in the other direction. Form it back into a ball, and keep stretching it to round it until it is nice and smooth. (Put the dough back in the bowl for 30 minutes- 1 hour. (Time is dependent on room’s temperature. If it’s warm, 30 minutes. If it’s cold, 1 hour.)
- Repeat step 3.
- Repeat step 3. Place a piece of baking paper over a bowl that is slightly larger than your dough ball. Place dough ball onto the baking paper, and let it sit in the bowl. Place dough ball into the fridge overnight.
Baking:
- Remove bread from fridge, and place on the counter.
- Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit.) Place a dutch oven, into a roasting pan, and put both into the oven to preheat. (the roasting pan helps keep your bread bottom from burning.)
- Cut a design into the top of your loaf.
- When oven is hot, take dutch oven out of the oven. Place baking paper with bread dough into the dutch oven. Place 3-6 ice cubes between the baking paper and the sides of the baking dish. This will create steam to help your bread form a lovely crust. Be careful! The steam will burn you! Place bread in the oven.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
