Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk together your sourdough starter, warm water, sugar, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Gather the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 4–6 hours.
- Punch down the dough gently and reshape it into a loaf. Place it seam-side down in a greased loaf pan and let it rise again for 1–2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the loaf for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool completely on a rack before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best rise. Measure accurately for consistent results.
