Simple Sourdough Bread

By chef Henry

 

Sourdough bread is a type of bread made using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. It's known for its distinctive tangy flavor, chewy texture, and crisp crust. The key ingredient is the sourdough starter, a mixture of flour and water that ferments over time. This bread is a favorite among home bakers for its complexity and rewarding process. 🍞

Ingredients:

  • 500g of all-purpose flour
  • 350ml of water
  • 100g of sourdough starter
  • 10g of salt

Kitchen Tools Needed:

  • mixing bowl
  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • kitchen scale
  • kitchen towel


Instructions:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and the sourdough starter, mixing them well.
  • Gradually add water to the mixture while mixing until you have a shaggy dough.
  • Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • After resting, sprinkle the salt over the dough and knead until incorporated.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly floured bowl. Cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
  • Place the loaf on a baking sheet and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow it to expand while baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
