Sourdough Bread

Istruzioni

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 500g of sourdough starter with 350ml of water. Stir until the starter is dissolved.

2. 2

   Add 500g of bread flour to the mixture and mix until a rough dough forms.

3. 3

   Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the water.

4. 4

   After resting, add 10g of salt to the dough and knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

6. 6

   Once risen, gently deflate the dough and shape it into a round loaf.

7. 7

   Place the shaped dough onto a floured surface or a proofing basket, cover it, and let it rise for another 2-3 hours.

8. 8

   Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) with a Dutch oven inside.
