Sourdough bread

Recipe as follows:

1/2 cup sourdough starter mixed with 1 1/2 c of warm water. 110 degrees. Mix with a fork.

Stir in 3 cups of flour with 1 tsp salt. I added 1 tsp sugar in this recipe.

Continue mixing gently with a fork until it feels dense. Then I flour my hands and continue mixing until it combined evenly.
Adding more flour if needed.

I shape in a round ball and place in a bowl with covering for 20 – 30 minutes resting in warm area on counter.

Reshape it folding and tucking dough and set it in round bowl, smooth side down. Cover for 8 – 10 hrs or over night.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake in covered Dutch oven. Make slits on top of bread dough before adding to oven. Remove top after 30 min, continue baking for additional 20 min. Remove from oven and cool bread on baking rack.

I add cornmeal to bottom of Dutch oven. I use parchment paper for baking sour dough on.
This bread is delicious! It is so worth the process. Hope you give it a try.
