Description

Enjoy fresh, homemade sourdough bread in a single day with this easy-to-follow recipe that brings the delightful aroma of baking to your kitchen.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 450 g bread flour
  • 10 g salt
  • 100 g active sourdough starter
  • 307 g water


Instructions

  1. Feed Your Starter: Prepare your active sourdough starter before bed and ensure it’s healthy and frothy by morning.
  2. Mix the Dough: Combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, water, and sourdough starter in a large bowl first thing in the morning.
  3. Strengthen with Stretch & Folds: Perform several sets of stretch and fold to build structure in the dough over the next hour.
  4. Bulk Fermentation: Let the dough rise during your workday for 4-5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the Dough: Gently shape the dough into a round or oval loaf after bulk fermentation.
  6. Final Proof: (Optional) Allow the dough to rest for 30-45 minutes to enhance texture.
  7. 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.
