Once we have our sourdough starter, we are ready to make a loaf of bread.
Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread
Servings 1 loaf
Ingredients
Step 1
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 150 grams whole wheat flour
- 150 grams filtered water
Step 2
- 300 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
- 150 grams filtered water
Instructions
Step 1
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Cover and let sit for 4 hours.
Step 2
- Add all ingredients to sourdough mixture from Step 1.
- Knead by hand on a floured surface for 20 minutes or with a stand mixer with dough hook for 10 minutes.
- Coat the dough with a little olive oil, cover, and let sit until doubled in size (6 to 12 hours).
Step 3
- Punch down dough and let sit 4 minutes.
- Shape into a loaf and place on an oiled or lined baking stone or sheet.
- Cover loosely and let sit for 8 hours.
Step 4
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until browned (about 1 hour).
- Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. The longer it sits, the more sour it gets.
Notes
After removing 1 cup of starter, use this opportunity to feed the remainder and put it in a clean container.
