Hey everyone, it’s me again, Dan, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, bread with sourdough starter. One of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Starter is what makes homemade sourdough bread so unique, because it doesn't require commercial yeast in order to rise. A live fermented culture of flour and water, otherwise known as sourdough starter, acts as a natural leavening agent. It begins with a sourdough "starter"— a bubbly batter of cultivated microbes and wild yeasts that both flavors and leavens the bread. And while some bakers have starters that are years, if not generations, old, it's fairly easy to make one at home.

Bread with sourdough starter is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. Bread with sourdough starter is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have bread with sourdough starter using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Bread with sourdough starter:
  1. Take 1 part warm water
  2. Make ready 3 parts flour (more or less)
  3. Get salt (1 tsp per 500 g flour)

Sourdough baking is as much art as science. But if you want to master this craft, it helps to understand two foundational concepts in more detail: proper fermentation and proper dough handling. Second, think about your timeline for baking bread. If you want to use the sourdough starter soon, the best practice is to keep it on your kitchen counter, or whatever room-temperature area is.

Instructions to make Bread with sourdough starter:
  1. Using a large bowl, dissolve the sourdough starter in the warm water (it shouldn't be very hot).
  2. Add most of the flour, the salt and whatever spice you have chosen (if you like). Knead well and add as much flour as is necessary to make a dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Take care to not add too much flour because the bread will be very firm.
  3. Knead for an additional 10'-15' minutes.
  4. Set aside a piece of the dough to use as a starter for the next time you make bread. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and leave in a warm place (during winter, next to the fireplace or a slightly preheated oven, but make sure that it is not on) for 8-12 hours until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape your dough into loaves and place in respective trays which you have brushed lightly with oil. Score the top with a knife and brush with a little water (at this point you can sprinkle with sesame seeds and press them a bit with your hand). Set them aside to rise once more.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C, for about 40' (depending on the oven and the size of the bread).

Second, think about your timeline for baking bread. If you want to use the sourdough starter soon, the best practice is to keep it on your kitchen counter, or whatever room-temperature area is. Mix in flour, sugar& remaining water. Use a large (preferably ceramic) bowl as it will rise considerably. This Simple Sourdough Bread recipe takes a little patience to let the dough rise a couple of times before baking it.
