Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Mix the dough

In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, sourdough starter, water, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

2
Knead the dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

3
First rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 8-12 hours, or until doubled in size.

4
Shape the dough

Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.

5
Second rise

Cover the loaf with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 1-2 hours, or until puffy.

6
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack to create steam.

7
Score the loaf

Using a sharp knife or razor blade, make a few diagonal slashes across the top of the loaf, about 1/4-inch deep.

8
Bake the bread

Bake the sourdough bread for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is dark golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9
Cool and serve

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy your homemade sourdough bread with your favorite spreads or as a side to your meals.
