Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- This recipe only has 3 ingredients – flour, water, and salt. Now, some of that flour and water will be in the form of your sourdough starter, so you need one of those!
- This recipe has as few steps as possible without compromising the quality of the loaf. Once again, too many people have made this way too complicated and added unnecessary steps!
Equipment
- 1 Bowl glass or ceramic
- 1 Spoon or Dough Whisk
- 1 Sharp Knife or Lame
- 1 Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- 20 g Salt
- 1 cup (270-280g) Sourdough starter
- 2 cups (520g) Warm water
- 5½ cups (700g) Plain flour
TOP TIP
This is an easy tip that keeps the dough from sticking to your hands while you stretch and fold it! Just run your hands under some water, then handle the dough.
Storage
Allow your bread to cool completely before slicing it. Once cooled, the loaf can be stored in :
- A ziplock bag or airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days
- In the fridge for a week
- In the freezer for up to 3 months!
