Weekend recipes - Basic Sourdough
I've been using the recipe here
from northwestsourdough.com for my basic sourdough and it's been
turning out well. It turned out quite well this weekend.
I made two loaves. I'd bumped up my reserve of starter so that it was overflowing the container by the time I used it.
510g starter
397g water
1 Tbsp oil
935g bread flour
22g salt
Mixed the following:
510g starter
397g water
850g flour
1 Tbsp oil
Let it rest for 20 minutes
Added in:
22g salt
85g flour
Placed the dough in an oiled bowl to bulk ferment, with plastic wrap over the top to prevent drying.
I stretched and folded the dough several times during the ferment.
After
about 10 hours, I turned it out of the bowl and shaped it into a
batard, and then placed it in a well-floured banneton, covered it with
plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.
Sunday afternoon, I did a bunch of baking. The sourdough loaves were the last to get baked, so they cam out of the fridge late after noon. I left them warm up for a couple of hours.
I turned the loaf
onto the bread peel, slashed the top with my lame, spritzed it heavily
with water and then slipped the loaf onto the baking stone. I then
covered the loaf with the steam catcher, and let it bake for 20
minutes. I then removed the steam catcher and let it bake for 10 more
minutes. I then rotated the loaf 180 degrees and let it bake for a
final 10 minutes. I did the same thing for the second loaf.
The crust was nice, and the crumb was nice.
Below are the results:
