Description
This is a delicious, easy sourdough loaf. If you are new to making sourdough bread, I recommend reading this detailed step-by-step post first, Make Sourdough Bread.
Ingredients
Scale
90–100 g active starter
385 g warm water
400 g High Protein Flour
100 g Rye Flour
8–10 g salt
15 g honey (optional)
15 g Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
Instructions
- Mix your ingredients together and form into a rough ball.
- Cover and ferment in a warm place for 10 hours (about 85 F ambient temp).
- Scape dough out of bowl onto a floured surface and leave it alone for 10 or 15 minutes, then fold/ knead for about 30 seconds. Shape into a ball with all the ends gathered into a seam. It should be well floured all over.
- Place dough into a floured linen napkin with the seam side up set into a bowl that is snug for dough, but has a little space for more rising.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth. Let rise for another 1 1/2 hours at room temp (around 68 F).
- Towards the end of the second rise, preheat your oven to 400 F with your dutch oven in it.
- Invert bowl onto a piece of parchment so dough now has seem side down. Score the dough.
- Place dough and parchment into dutch oven and cover. Bake 40 minutes.
- Remove bread and foil from dutch oven and place directly on oven rack and bake another 20 minutes.
- Let cool for 1 or more hours before cutting.
This was fun to make and turned out a beautiful loaf. My 5 year old grandson said “I love this bread!” He ate many pieces. 🙂 Thanks – great blog!
