Ingredients
- 1 cup • sourdough starter
- 1 1/2 cups • warm water
- 4 cups • bread flour
- 2 teaspoons • salt
Instructions
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water. Mix until the starter is dissolved.
- 2. Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Place the loaf on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise for another 1-2 hours, or until puffy.
- 6. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
- 7. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and place the dough, along with the parchment paper, into the pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 20 minutes.
- 8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 9. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
