Sourdough Peasant Bread Recipe

Sourdough Peasant Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/8 cups sourdough starter
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 cups bread flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Method

1. This is for the medium sized loaf which, depending on how active my starter is at the moment, will rise to the top of my Hitachi B101.
2. If I want an extra sour loaf, I will use the starter two or three days after feeding.
3. This produces a shorter loaf with a heavier texture.
4. For a light and fluffy loaf, I feed the starter first, then let it sit on the counter for 8 to 10 hours before using.
5. I make sure it is very foamy when I put it in the B/M.
