What's the deal on making sourdough bread? Well, let's all learn together as foodies shall we? First off, you'll need to make a starter, the batch that will give your loaf a sourdough aroma and flavor. This starter recipe is from a friend, who got it from somewhere, so I take no responsibility if this is ripped off altogether. Here is the starter batch.
2 potatoes that's peeled, and cubed really small
2 - 2 1/4 cups of luke warm water + one packet of active yeast
2- 2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp. of salt
1. Add about 4 cups of water to a pot, bring to a boil, add in the cubed potatoes, and cook it until it is really soft, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon, let the water cool down to luke warm and reserve 2 to 2 1/4 cups of it.
2. Place the flour in a mixing bowl w/ salt
3. Add a packet of yeast to the warm water, and mix it with a spoon, add water to flour and mix it, don't worry about any lumps.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, let sit at room temperature for about 3 days. Make sure that each day, you give it a good stir with clean hands, form a ball, cover again and let it sit. Do this each day that it rests until ready to make the loaf.
For the Sourdough Loaf.
Approximately 4 3/4 cups of bread flour
2 tbsp. of sugar
3 tsp. sea salt
1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup of warm whole milk
2 tbsp. virgin olive oil
1 3/4 cups of sourdough starter
Egg wash
1 egg
2 tbsp. of water
Mix water and egg well.
1. In a mixing bowl, add in 1 cup of bread flour, sugar, salt, dry active yeast and mix it well. Add in the milk, and olive oil, starter, and mix well. Slowly adding in the rest of the flour, form a ball.
2. Add some flour on a clean surface, place ball onto it, and punch down on the center with a fist, and knead the dough for about 7 to 9 minutes.
3. Grease a bowl, place ball in bowl, and cover with plastic wrap for one hour, let it rise, it should double in size.
4. Take out dough from bowl, and punch down on the center again, let it rest for 15 minutes or so. Form loaves, place in loaf pans that are greased, brush the tops with the eggs and water and bake the loaves for 30 minutes in a 375 deg. F. oven. The tops should develop a nice crust.
