Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1 cup Active sourdough starter (fed)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Instant yeast (optional for quicker rise)
Instructions
1. In the bread machine pan, add the ingredients in the following order: water, olive oil, active sourdough starter, sugar, salt, and bread flour.
2. If you are using instant yeast for a faster rise, sprinkle it on top of the flour. This step is optional and will not be necessary if you have a robust sourdough starter.
3. Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle. This typically lasts about 90 minutes. Let the machine mix, knead, and allow the first rise if needed.
4. After the cycle is complete, cover the bread machine pan with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the dough ferment overnight at room temperature for 8-12 hours. This extended fermentation is key to achieving the sourdough flavor.
5. In the morning, check the dough. If it has doubled in size, it’s ready to bake. If it needs more time, give it another 1-2 hours to rise further.
6. When ready to bake, punch down the dough gently and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Let it rest for 30 minutes while you prepare your bread machine for baking.
7. Place the shaped dough back into the bread machine for baking. Select the 'Bake' setting on your bread machine, and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the internal temperature reads 200°F (93°C).
8. Once baked, carefully remove the bread from the machine and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
