Description

A delicious homemade sourdough bread made with simple ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 100 g sourdough discard
  • 250 g water
  • 500 g bread flour (or all purpose flour)
  • 10 g salt
  • 20 g sugar
  • 60 g salted butter (room temperature)
  • 7 g instant yeast

Instructions

  1. Combine the sourdough discard, water, and flour in the bowl of your stand mixer and mix for about 30 seconds until it forms a shaggy dough. Leave to rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Add salt, sugar, butter, and yeast to the dough and knead for 3 to 6 minutes until elastic.
  3. Let the dough rise for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Lightly butter your loaf tin while the dough rises.
  5. Tip the dough out, shape it into a rectangle, then into a tight log and place it seam side down in the buttered loaf tin.
  6. Let it rise again until just above the rim of the tin (around an hour).
  7. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the loaf for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • This bread recipe requires patience as the dough needs to rise twice.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
