DAWSON CITY SOURDOUGH STARTER AND SOURDOUGH BREAD
Straight out of the Klondike, this recipe has been around for a long time. This process takes all day, but the smells that will fill your house while the bread is rising and baking will make it all worthwhile. You'll probably find that at suppertime you'll sit yourself down with a loaf of hot, fresh bread and a pound of butter and wonder how you ever got by without sourdough bread! The Dawson City Historical Complex commemorates the history of the Klondike, including the Gold Rush and the years that followed. Sourdough was an integral part of the harsh life of a miner during the Gold Rush. Sourdough starter was always available, either by borrowing some from a fellow miner or by starting one's own. Food was scarce in the Yukon and winters were long and lonely, so having some sourdough starter and a large bag of flour could greatly increase a miner's quality of life. Up in the Klondike today there are people who still share sourdough starter which originally came over the Chilkoot Trail. It's a great living tradition to keep alive, so share and share alike - pioneer style! Time does not include making the starter but does include rising time for the dough.

Steps:
- STARTER:.
- Mix equal amounts flour and blood-warm water in a container larger enough for the mixture to double. The container should be glass or crockery. Do not screw the lid on tight; the gases will need to escape. (A plastic container could also be used, just don't fit the lid on tight.)
- Place the container in a warm spot for 2 or 3 days, until it has started to bubble and become smooth. Yes, you're basically waiting for it to go bad! A layer of alcohol - yes, alcohol - will develop on top; stir this down before using. The more potent your sourdough, the more alcohol you'll get, so be proud: you are making yeast, and it will smell like it! If it grows green mold, you can scoop it out or stir it in, it won't hurt you. However, if it turns orange, throw it away and start over.
- Replenish your starter each time you use it, or once a week. Remember: it is a living thing! You have to feed it regularly. If you don't use it, take out one cupful and replace with ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of water.
- Keep the starter on a warm shelf. If you are not going to use it, store it in the fridge, but remove it a day before you want to use it so it will become active again. When you use your sourdough, replace what you took out with 1/2 cup of blood-warm water and 1/2 cup of flour.
- BREAD:.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center, and add the sourdough starter, egg, oil and warm water. Stir together and add more water or flour as necessary to form a pancake batter-like consistency. Cover with greased waxed paper and a towel and set in a warm place to rise.
- When doubled and all bubbly, mix in enough flour (about 4 cups) to enable it to be kneaded into a smooth elastic ball. Let this rise again until doubled, about 4 hours, and then punch down and shape into loaves or biscuits.
- Let this rise again until doubled and then bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 10 minutes and then turn the oven down to 300°F (150°C) and let bake 30-40 minutes longer until the loaves sound hollow when you knock on them. Brush the loaves with butter.

Steps:
- For the levain: Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, water and starter in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Cover and let sit at room temperature until bubbly and increased in volume by about 20 percent, about 8 hours.
- For the dough: Add the all-purpose flour, water and whole-wheat flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Weigh out 7 ounces of the levain (about 1 cup) and add to the mixer (discard any remaining levain). Mix on low until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Add the salt to the dough and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes; the dough should feel a bit sticky and wet but look smooth and very stretchy. Scrape the dough into a plastic or glass container about twice its size. Cover and let sit at room temperature until puffed, about 45 minutes.
- Put the dough on a floured work surface, flatten it gently, then fold in thirds like a business letter. Transfer it back to the container. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Repeat the folding process one more time, transfer back to the container, cover and let sit at room temperature for another 45 minutes. After the third 45-minute rest, the dough should feel soft and pillowy; when pressed with a finger, it should leave an indentation that begins to spring back.
- Gently scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide in half using a bench scraper. Shape each piece loosely into a round by gently tucking the edges under. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Drape 2 kitchen towels into 2 medium (8-inch) bowls and dust very generously with flour. Dust the top of the dough rounds very lightly with flour and flip over using a bench scraper. Flatten one piece of dough into a circle, then fold the left and right sides of the dough over the center. Keeping tension in the dough, begin folding down from the top edge in 3 segments, sealing the bottom edge with the last fold. Loosely cup the dough and, using your hands and the tension between the board and the dough, pull the bread very slowly towards yourself while creating a taut ball. Gently flip the dough ball over and into one of the prepared bowls. Cover loosely with another kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough. Place both in a warm place to rise until about 1 1/2 times their size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- About 20 minutes before baking, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven, put a 4-quart Dutch oven and lid on the rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. When preheated, carefully transfer the hot Dutch oven to a heatsafe surface with oven mitts (leave the lid in the oven). Flip one round of dough over into the Dutch oven. Using a sharp knife, scissors or bread lame, score the top of the bread in a cross or desired pattern. Return to the oven, immediately cover with the lid and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 425 degrees F, uncover and bake until dark brown, about 10 minutes more. Transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool completely. Return the empty Dutch oven to the oven, raise the temperature to 500 degrees F and let heat for 10 minutes before repeating the baking process with the second dough round.

Steps:
- In a measuring cup combine the warm water and potato flakes.
- In a large ceramic bowl whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, yeast and sugar (I use my 6 quart crockpot crock).
- Whisk in the potato water.
- Whisk in the flour until mixture is smooth.
- Cover with a loose lid or a large kitchen towel. DO NOT use a tight fitting lid-the gas from the starter could cause your container to explode.
- Set aside on your counter and leave it alone for 24 hours.
- Next morning.
- In the bowl of your KA or standing mixer combine the warm water, sugar and yeast.
- Give it a good whisk and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Whisk egg in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Add starter to the bowl of your KA mixer-whisk well.
- To the yeast mixture add the egg, oil and 2 cups of flour.
- Give that a good whisk to get it somewhat smooth.
- Attach dough hook and turn mixer on to 1 or 2 (low speed).
- Add one cup of flour and kneed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add another cup of flour and kneed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of flour and kneed for 4-5 minutes.
- You will want your dough to to be tacky but not sticky-by that I mean you want your dough to "just" pull away from the side of your mixing bowl.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board or counter.
- Flour hands lightly and kneed for 2 or 3 minutes forming a nice ball-again it will feel tacky and somewhat soft.
- Turn into a large oiled bowl, turning once to cover ball entirely.
- Let rise 1 and 1/2 hours, or until double in bulk.
- Punch down and divide dough in half.
- Shape dough into whatever form you wish.
- I make one round loaf using a small, oiled cast iron skillet dusted with corn meal, the other I shape into a Italian Style loaf on a greased cookie sheet dusted with corn meal.
- Brush tops with oil, cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Slash tops with a razor blade or VERY sharp knife.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
- Remove bread from pans/sheets and let cool on wire rack.

Steps:
- Measure out starter into a bowl. Add water, salt, and bread flour. Mix until ingredients are well blended into a very sticky dough. Cover with aluminum foil; let rest 4 hours at 70 to 75 degrees F (22 degrees C).
- With wet hands, fold dough over on itself 3 or 4 times. Cover with foil and allow dough to ferment for 2 more hours.
- Generously dust a bread form with rice flour (see Chef's Note for banneton substitution).
- Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface (you can use bread flour or all-purpose flour). Shape into a ball with a smooth, unbroken surface, using just enough flour on the surface to keep it from sticking. Transfer smooth-side down to banneton. Pinch together the rougher edges of the surface toward the center to smooth them and maintain the round ball shape.
- Cover and refrigerate 12 hours to slow the fermentation process.
- Remove loaf from the refrigerator and let it rise in a warm spot until the dough springs slowly back and retains a slight indentation when poked gently with a finger, about 3 to 5 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dust surface of dough with flour. Gently invert banneton over the baking sheet and transfer dough onto parchment paper. Gently brush off excess rice flour. Score the top of the dough about 1/8-inch deep with a sharp knife to create a shallow slit running across the center. Mist entire surface lightly with water.
- Bake in the center of preheated oven until beautifully browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely (do not slice loaf while it is still warm).
