Description
A simple and satisfying sourdough loaf, perfectly baked in a loaf pan for sandwiches with a crisp crust and tender crumb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active)
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Measure the starter and warm the water slightly so it is comfortable to touch.
- Add the sourdough starter and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Use a spoon or your hands to bring the dough together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased loaf pan and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 4–6 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
- Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Serve warm with butter, use for sandwiches, or toast with jam. Store at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
