BASIC SOURDOUGH BREAD
Plain white, simple sourdough bread. A great starter recipe to use if you are new to sourdough baking. The dough cycle of the bread machine can be used to prepare the dough, if you like. Prep time does not include proofing time for starter.

Steps:
- Before measuring out your 2 cups of starter culture, it must be proofed: To proof, I usually start with 1 cup of starter and stir into it equal parts of flour and warm water (for this recipe, 1 1/2 cups of each would be more than enough).
- Let mixture sit, covered loosely, for 8 to 12 hours-- the longer it sits, the sourer the flavor will be.
- At this point, measure out the 2 cups required for recipe, and return leftover starter to refrigerator for next time.
- Pour starter into mixing bowl.
- Melt butter (microwave works well).
- Add milk to butter and warm briefly (85 degrees F).
- Add the salt and sugar, stir until dissolved.
- Add this mixture to the culture and mix well.
- Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until the dough is too stiff to mix by hand.
- Turn onto floured board and knead in the remaining flour until the dough is smooth and satiny.
- Pat dough into a 1-inch thick oval and form loaf by rolling oval up from the long side, pinching the seam together as you roll the dough, tucking ends to form the loaf.
- Place in lightly greased loaf pan (I spray with cooking spray), and let rise, covered, at 85 degrees F for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
- When the dough rises 1 to 2 inches above the edges of pan, it is ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes (baking time varies according to your oven and your personal taste--some like a darker crustier bread than others).
- Remove loaf from oven and brush the top lightly with melted butter; turn loaf out of the pan and cool on wire rack.
- If you prefer, you can shape this into a round or oval loaf and bake on a baking sheet.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sourdough starter and 4 cups of flour.
- Mix well and cover with plastic wrap in a warm place 8-12 hours (I do it over night).
- The next day stir in the salt and sugar and add flour 1/2 to 1 cup at a time to make a very stiff dough .
- Knead till smooth.
- Cover and let rise 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
- Punch down and divide in half.
- Knead till smooth and form into rounds. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover lightly and let rise till double and puffy (1 to 1-2 hrs).
- While this is rising mix the 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp cornstarch in a small bowl and microwave till boiling, remove from heat and let cool.
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Carefully place a small pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Cut two slashes across each other on top of each loaf.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Pull out the rack and baste each loaf well with the cornstarch mixture.
- Close the oven and allow to bake another 20-25 minutes. Loaves should be a light golden color and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- You are suppose to allow this to cool for 2 hrs to develop the sourdough flavor fully -- we wait maybe 30-45 minutes!

BASIC BUT BEAUTIFUL SOURDOUGH BREAD
I like to bake these in 8 inch round pans, making a pretty loaf that's low on effort and very light. It's the first sourdough recipe I tried and I think it makes a good place to start if you're new to the whole process. The prep time includes rising times, but this could vary depending on how quickly your starter rises. Mine seems to be pretty quick.

Steps:
- Pour the sponge in a bowl and add the sugar, salt and oil or margarine.
- Mix well and then knead in the flour a half-cup at a time.
- Knead in enough flour to make a good, flexible bread dough- you may use slightly more or less than the three cups indicated, depending on how runny your starter is.
- Just keep adding until it looks like any other bread dough.
- You can add the flour by hand, with an electric mixer, a bread machine on dough cycle or a food processor.
- Find a warm place and let the dough rise, covered loosely by a towel (I use my airing cupboard but a slightly warm oven works well too-- don't keep it on, just turn it on for a moment to warm it up before turning it off and putting the dough in).
- If you're using a bread machine's dough cycle, let it rise in the machine.
- Note that sourdough rises more slowly than yeast bread.
- Just let it keep going until it's doubled in bulk.
- Punch the dough down and knead it a little more.
- Make a loaf and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Slit the top if you like, and cover the loaf with a paper towel and place it in a warm place to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
- Place the pan with the loaf in your oven, and then turn your oven to 350 F or 190 C and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes.
- Do not preheat the oven.
- The loaf is done when the crust is brown and the bottom sounds hollow when thumped with a wooden spoon.
- Turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack or a towel and let it cool for an hour before slicing.

SOURDOUGH STARTER (FOR CLASSIC SOURDOUGH BREAD)
This is the starter that goes with Classic Sourdough Bread that I posted earlier. Sorry for the oversight. Note: This does not include the 2-3 days feeding time or the wait time for it to become full strength.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in water in a large plastic container (gallon size works well). Add sugar. When yeast bubbles (about 10 minutes), stir in flour until you have a smooth paste.
- Cover loosely to allow gases to escape and place in a warm spot in your kitchen 2 to 3 days. The mixture should bubble and give off a sour odor. Stir starter once a day, making sure to stir in any crust that's formed. After this point, you can store starter in the refrigerator or leave it out in a cool, dark area of your kitchen.
- Feed starter by stirring in 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup water every day if you leave it out, or every few days if it's refrigerated; otherwise, it will become too acidic and eventually die.
- Once starter has grown a few weeks and has reached full strength, you can decrease feedings to once a week.
- If you don't use your starter regularly, it's going to get unruly and burst the bounds of it's container. Give some away to friends along with feeding and baking instructions.
CLASSIC SOURDOUGH BREAD
This is from the latest issue of relishmag. It was in the newspaper and looks like something I want to try. As a matter of fact, I'm trying it as I write this. So far, so good. I covered the dough with plastic wrap and I'm glad I did. It rises quite a bit.

Steps:
- Mix sourdough starter, 2 cups warm water and 5 cups flour in a large bowl. Mix well; cover with a dish towel and let rise 8 hours or overnight.
- Combine yeast. 1/4 cup warm water, and 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Let stand 5 minutes, until mixture bubbles.
- Place flour mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add yeast mixture, salt and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Mix well. With your hands or a dough hook, knead while gradually adding up to 2 additional cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Knead until a smooth, soft dough forms. Dough should be shiny and supple, not sticky and wet. If you plan to add additional ingredients (see note), add them at this point so they are evenly distributed.
- Place dough in oiled bowl; cover with dish towel and let rise about 2 hours.
- Punch down and divide in half for 2 large loaves or fourths for four smaller loaves. Knead each portion by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth; shape into rounds. Place on a parchment- lined baking sheet and lightly cover with a dish towel. Let rise 1 hour, until double in size.
- Preheat oven to 375*. Just before placing bread in oven, place an ovenproof bowl filled with 2 cups of water or ice cubes in the bottom of oven to create steam to help the bread form a crisp crust.
- Slash tops of loaves with a sharp knife. For a rustic look, sprinkle with flour. Bake about 45 minutes, until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Note: To make Sourdough Olive Bread, saute 1 cup chopped kalamata olives, 1 chopped small yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves in 2 Tblsp. olive oil until onions are tender. Cool. Add to dough during first kneading and proceed with recipe.

HOW TO MAKE SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:
- First, make your starter. In a large bowl, mix together 100g of the flour with 125ml slightly warm water. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free.
- Transfer the starter to a large jar (a 1-litre Kilner jar is good) or a plastic container. Leave the jar or container lid ajar for 1 hr or so in a warm place (around 25C is ideal), then seal and set aside for 24 hrs.
- For the next 6 days, you will need to 'feed' the starter. Each day, tip away half of the original starter, add an extra 100g of flour and 125ml slightly warm water, and stir well. Try to do this at the same time every day.
- After 3-4 days you should start to see bubbles appearing on the surface, and it will smell yeasty and a little acidic. This is a good indicator that the starter is working.
- On day 7, the starter should be quite bubbly and smell much sweeter. It is now ready to be used in baking.
- Tip the flour, 225ml warm water, the salt, honey and the starter into a bowl, or a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir with a wooden spoon, or on a slow setting in the machine, until combined - add extra flour if it's too sticky or a little extra warm water if it's too dry.
- Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 mins until soft and elastic - you should be able to stretch it without it tearing. If you're using a mixer, turn up the speed a little and mix for 5 mins.
- Place the dough in a large, well-oiled bowl and cover. Leave in a warm place to rise for 3 hrs. You may not see much movement, but don't be disheartened, as sourdough takes much longer to rise than a conventional yeasted bread.
- Line a medium-sized bowl with a clean tea towel and flour it really well or, if you have a proving basket, you can use this (see tips below). Tip the dough back onto your work surface and knead briefly to knock out any air bubbles. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and dust it with flour.
- Place the dough, seam-side up, in the bowl or proving basket, cover loosely and leave at room temperature until roughly doubled in size. The time it takes for your bread to rise will vary depending on the strength of your starter and the temperature in the room, anywhere from 4-8 hrs. The best indicators are your eyes, so don't worry too much about timings here. You can also prove your bread overnight in the fridge. Remove it in the morning and let it continue rising for another hour or 2 at room temperature. The slower the rise, the deeper the flavour you will achieve.
- Place a large baking tray in the oven, and heat to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Fill a small roasting tin with a little water and place this in the bottom of the oven to create steam. Remove the baking tray from the oven, sprinkle with flour, then carefully tip the risen dough onto the tray.
- Slash the top a few times with a sharp knife, if you like, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown. It will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave to cool on a wire rack for 20 mins before serving.

- In a large bowl stir together 3 cups of the flour, the water, and Sourdough Starter until smooth. Cover bowl with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature 4 hours. Place bowl in refrigerator; chill overnight.
- Stir in salt and as much of the remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a smooth dough (2 to 3 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease surface of dough. Cover and let rise at room temperature about 2 hours or until slightly increased in size (you may see a few bubbles).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; gently divide in half. Shape each dough half into an oval loaf. Place loaves on prepared baking sheet and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature about 2 hours or until nearly double in size.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Using a sharp knife, make three or four diagonal cuts across top of each loaf. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bread is golden and sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from baking sheet; cool on wire racks.
