Baking Sourdough Bread
Section outline
-
Precondition: you shall have sourdough starter (in USA Michigan you can order it from me here).
1) Out of the refrigerator and mix those "starter" with just flour and water in a bowl to the consistency of yogurt (add 1 cup of water and 1-1.5 cup of flour). Let it sit for 8-12 hours (it will rise) e.g. overnight
2) Take small part of it and put back to the fridge (~1/4 cup, this is called "starter").
3) Add to the remaining part: table spoon of salt, some sugar/honey and oil -mix well
4) Add more flour (1-2 cups) and more water (~1/2 cup) to the consistency of bread dough, let it sit for another 3-5 hours to rise
5) Bake for 40-60 minutes in an oven - first 15 minutes at 490F covered, than at 350F uncovered for about 30 minutes (you can try experimenting with the baking time/temperature).
Note: Make sure to "feed" those starter at least every 2 weeks, see step 1-2 (if not making bread you can use smaller volume for pancakes on the pane quicker). Keep it in the refrigerator.
