Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup sourdough starter active and bubbly
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional, for a slightly sweeter bread

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Loaf pan
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar to the bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 30 minutes.
  5. After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air and shape it into a loaf.
  6. Transfer the shaped loaf to a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 15-20 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake the loaf for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
