Sourdough Sandwich Bread
Included are links to the exact products I used.
I really don't like to add a long, drawn out paragraph to my recipes... so here's the recipe:
Est Time: (Depends on proofing), about 6-12 hours to proof + 2-3 hours after shaping
Ingredients:
56 g Avocado Oil (consider trying butter, olive, or other oil - let me know how it goes!)
25 g honey (can sub sugar if you don't have honey -- about 13 g granulated sugar)
12 g salt
115 g sourdough starter
295 g water
550 g bread flour
Directions:
Combine avocado oil, honey, salt, and sourdough starter, and water until the sourdough starter is well absorbed into the other substances. You can use a mixer - or do it the old fashioned way. I prefer less dishes, so I mix by hand/spatula.
Slowly add in flour.
I like to add ~250-300 g, then give my mixture a stir until all the flour is soaked, then follow up with the remaining 250-300g -- I just feel like it's easier to mix this way.
Once your mixture has formed into a non-lumpy dough ball, let sit for 6-12 hours depending on home temperature.
Optionally, you can do a few rounds of stretch & folds. Let dough sit for 30 mins, then stretch and fold. Repeat up to 4 times. The bread will be amazing if you skip this step. (remember, all bread is good bread!)
In the winter, I let mine sit the full 12 hours.
Flatten the dough onto a floured surface. Then, shape your dough by folding the right, then left side and rolling it up from the bottom.
In a bread pan, use parchment paper to line the pan. You can also butter your pan, but I am all about less messy dishes. Place dough in pan and let sit for 2-3 hours.
Once the dough has risen again, set the oven at 375F, and bake bread for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the bread rest as long as you possibly can before cutting that bad boy open. I use a cooling rack. I usually make it about 2 hours before I cave.
If you cut the bread while it is still very warm, it will be gummy because it the bread still cooks while cooling on the counter. It will still be good, because all bread is good, but it won't be as good as if you can wait a few hours until the bread is not so hot.
