Instructions

Sourdough Starter and Soakers

  1. Prepare all four sourdoughs and soakers the evening before you want to bake (e.g. 10pm for picking things up again at 9am).

  2. On the next morning, check for standing water in the two soakers, if there is any, reserve and use as part of the water for the final dough.

Final Dough

  1. Add all ingredients to bowl of stand mixer and mix for three minutes on low and one minute on medium. Move the dough from the mixing bowl to a large bowl that allows you to fold the dough. Stretch and fold the dough (I do 20 s&f's) three to four times in five minute intervals.
  2. Cover and let the dough rise in the bowl for 2 to 3 hours, until doubled in size.
  3. Dump the dough on a lightly flowered surface and divide into two or three parts and shape into loafs or boules. When baking three breads, each will be about 750g.
  4. Preheat oven to 500F.
  5. Let the shaped loafs/boules proof for about one hour. Bake with steam for 35-40 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into a loaf. These breads freeze well: I usually keep half a loaf
