What’s in the sourdough?

3/4-1 cup (it varies depending on your starter) 130g Sourdough starter

2 cups/473g warm water (85-110degrees)

5 1/2 cups/700g All purpose flour

1 Tbs/18g salt (I like pink Himalayan)

How to make sourdough…

1. In a large bowl, (not metal) measure out your sourdough starter, add water, flour, and salt and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until fully incorporated.
2. Place in a draft free warm area overnight (or for 8-12 hours).
3. Shape the dough in your hands, then score the top.
4. Preheat your Dutch oven* to 425 degrees. With floury hands, carefully place dough in Dutch oven (without burning your self) and score on top, place back in oven with top on. Bake for about 35 minutes then take top off and bake for another 20 mins, or until you can “knock” on the bottom of the bread. Best severed warm;). Enjoy!!

* I like to use this Emile Henry Dutch oven from William Sonoma.
