Large mixing bowl
Loaf pan
Kitchen towel
Oven
- 1 cup Active sourdough starter
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
Start by combining your sourdough starter and warm water in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. This step wakes up the yeast and sets the foundation for your dough. Pro tip: Use lukewarm water—not too hot—to avoid killing the yeast.
Gradually stir in the flour until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t worry if it looks messy; that’s normal. The goal here is to bring everything together.
Sprinkle salt and sugar over the dough. Turn it onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot. Watch as tiny bubbles form, signaling fermentation magic.
Once risen, shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise again until puffy, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes.
This sourdough sandwich bread is not only delicious but also a fun project for bakers of all levels. The aroma of freshly baked bread in your kitchen is truly irresistible!
