🌱 How To Make Sourdough Bread Masterclass
- 800g flour
- 460g water
- 10g salt
- 320g starter
Mix and knead, don’t add much flour. Once the dough can stretch to translucent without tearing, it’s ready. Let proof for 3 hours. Then punch out the air and form into a ball, divide in half and place in a bowl layered with a tea towl and generously dust it with flour. Shape your dough into a compact ball. Place into bowl upside down and dust with flour, then cover with your tea towel. Let proof for 3 1/2 hours. Gently remove from bowl by dusting with flour and flipping upside down. Score if you want. Put into oven at a minimum of 230°C, bake for 30-35 minutes, or with Pyrex bake for 25 minutes, then remove lid and bake for an additional 25 minutes. (25+25 may result in burning your bread, try 20 minutes with the lid then remove the lid and bake an additional 10 minutes or until deep brown. A great way to tell if a bread is done is by checking the bottom and seeing how dark it is.)
