There is lots of sourdough recipes out there, this one is mine. Hope you enjoy. This makes two round loaves. Time does not include 2 1/2 hours rising time. :)
Ingredients:
1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) envelope active dry yeast
3/4 cup water, lukewarm (divided)
1 cup sourdough starter (recommended sourdough starter)
2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup water. In a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid, combine 1/2 cup water, starter, honey, butter, dissolved yeast and salt. Blend well. Gently stir in flour. Knead dough for about 5 minutes, adding more flour (if necessary) to prevent dough from being sticky.
2. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning dough to coat the top. cover with a towel and let rise until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours).
3. Punch down and divide in half. Shape into 2 round loaves and place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 4 apart. Cover and let double in size (about 1 hour).
4. Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 375F and bake an additional 20-25 minutes longer or until bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and cool on wire racks.
