- 1 1/2 cups water
- 450 g bread flour
- 10 g salt
- 100 g active sourdough starter
- 307 g water
Instructions
- Feed Your Starter: Prepare your active sourdough starter before bed and ensure it’s healthy and frothy by morning.
- Mix the Dough: Combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, water, and sourdough starter in a large bowl first thing in the morning.
- Strengthen with Stretch & Folds: Perform several sets of stretch and fold to build structure in the dough over the next hour.
- Bulk Fermentation: Let the dough rise during your workday for 4-5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Dough: Gently shape the dough into a round or oval loaf after bulk fermentation.
- Final Proof: (Optional) Allow the dough to rest for 30-45 minutes to enhance texture.
- Score and Bake: Preheat your oven in the evening, score the loaf, and bake for a perfect finish.
Notes
Use warm water for better activation of the dough. Store leftovers properly to keep the bread fresh.
