Description
A soft, tender sourdough sandwich loaf with a mild tang, perfect for sandwiches and toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active)
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the warm water, sugar, and sourdough starter in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the starter breaks up and the sugar dissolves.
- Add the salt and olive oil to the liquid. Gradually add the flour, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 4–6 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough gently and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for 1–2 hours until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the loaf finishes rising.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool the loaf on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Wrap the loaf in a tea towel for storage; freezes well for up to 3 months.
