Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Combine flour and salt

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Mix well.

2
Add sourdough starter and water

Add the active sourdough starter and water to the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3
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.

4
Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for 8-12 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

5
Shape the dough

Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the loaf in a proofing basket or a bowl lined with a floured kitchen towel, seam-side up.

6
Let the dough proof

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it proof for another 1-2 hours, or until it has puffed up and holds an indentation when gently poked.

7
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven or a baking stone inside to heat up.

8
Score the dough

Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper, seam-side down. Using a sharp knife or razor blade, score the top of the loaf with a pattern of your choice.

9
Bake the bread

Carefully transfer the loaf to the preheated Dutch oven or onto the baking stone. Bake for 30-35 minutes with the lid on (if using a Dutch oven), then remove the lid and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is dark golden brown.

10
Cool and serve

Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
