Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups water (at room temperature)
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Chef Filip’s Sourbread:
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and the water. Stir until well blended.
- Add Flour and Salt: Gradually add in the flour and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and turn it onto a floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf.
- Second Rise: Place the shaped loaf onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 2 hours.
- Preheat the Oven: About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Bake the Bread: When the oven is hot, carefully transfer the bread on the parchment paper into the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Allow the sourdough to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy your homemade sourdough bread fresh out of the oven with butter or as the perfect accompaniment to your favorite soups and salads. Happy baking!
