Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Active sourdough starter
- 250 milliliters Warm water
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 10 grams Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water. Stir until the starter dissolves.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth bun and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the shaped buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for 2-3 hours, or until they are slightly puffy.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Just before baking, lightly brush the tops of the buns with water for a soft crust.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
