Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Mix the dough
In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, sourdough starter, water, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
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.
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.
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.
Second rise
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 1-2 hours, or until puffy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
