A simple and easy recipe for making basic white sourdough bread using just four ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g bread flour
  • 350ml water
  • 100g sourdough starter
  • 10g salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the bread flour and salt together.
  2. Add the sourdough starter and water to the flour mixture.
  3. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 4-6 hours at room temperature.
  5. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a floured proofing basket.
  6. Let the dough rise for another 1-2 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
  8. Carefully transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven and cover it with the lid.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure your sourdough starter is active before using it.
  • You can adjust the hydration by adding more or less water based on your flour type.
  • For a crustier bread, bake it longer without the lid.
