Ingredients
- 1 cp Flour all purpose
- .25 oz Instant Yeast
- 1/3 tsp White Sugar
- 1 cp Water 110°F
- 2 cp Flour bread
- 3/4 tsp Salt
Servings: loaf
Instructions
- Sourdough Starter: In a large bowl, combine, water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes (if it does not foam, throw mixture away).
- Add the all purpose flour and stir vigorously to work air into mixture. Cover with a towel and let rest in a oven with its light on for 8-12 hours. Use immediately.
- Sourdough Bread: In an electric mixer with a dough hook, combine bread flour, sourdough starter, and salt and knead until it no longer sticks to the sides or bottom of mixing bowl. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until it doubles in size. Turn out onto a light floured surface. Sprinkle with flour and knead gently, removing large air bubbles.
- Shape into a circle, then fold into a ball, pinching the seams and placing seam side down on parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about an hour.
- Preheat oven and pizza stone to 400°F. Place a shallow pan on the bottom rack and pizza stone on the rack above. Have 1 cup water ready.
- With a sharp knife, cut an "X" into the top of the dough.
- Place bread with parchment paper on the stone and add water to shallow pan. Close oven door quickly and let bake for about 60 minutes or golden brown.
