SIMPLE SOURDOUGH RECIPE
My family loves the taste of homemade sourdough bread! A while ago, I found and modified a recipe that is super simple and so easy to make! You don’t have to knead it a ton and go through the lengths of care that a classic sourdough recipe needs. I’ve been making this sourdough bread for a while now and love to make extra to freeze for my family. I’d love to share my recipe below! It makes 2 loaves!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar, 42 g for honey or 24 g for sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt, 17 g
- 1 cup starter, active and bubbly, 227 g
- 2 1/2 cups water, 590 g
- 8 cups all purpose flour, 1120 g
Directions:
- In a stand mixer, add all of the ingredients except the flour. Mix well.
- Add the flour and mix until it forms into a ball of dough.
- Knead dough for about 10 minutes until it is stretchy and smooth. (You want it to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl and be smooth and elastic).
- Allow to bulk rise until double. about 6 hours or depending on the temperature of your kitchen. The cooler the temperature, the longer it takes to rise… the warmer, the faster. It can be left overnight to rise until morning.
- Line parchment paper onto bread pans and spray with oil.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- Shape dough into ovals to fit on the loaf pan. (I just flatten the dough to get the bubbles out and then shape it with my hands.)
- Rise dough for 2nd time at room temperature, or until doubled.
- Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, or until golden on top.
- Allow bread to cool completely before slicing. Yum!
*Tip: I like to put my Bosch bowl on a scale and weigh by grams. Makes it easy and accurate!
When I bake this bread, I love to use these super cute ruffled loaf pans. I’m very intentional with what I purchase and use, and I love having multiples of these matching loaf pans. They stack well too! The main reason I love them is because the bread bakes so well in these too!
