Ingredients
Scale
- 90g active sourdough starter
- 330g filtered water
- 2 tsp honey
- 495g all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter in the morning or night before bed, so that it is ready to use first thing in the morning. Your starter should have doubled in volume, meaning that it is ready to use.
- Place all your ingredients into the bread machine, with the paddle in place.
- Place 90g of starter, 330g of water, 2 teaspoons of honey, 495g of flour, and 2 teaspoons of sea salt.
- Start your bread machine and allow it to run through a regular loaf cycle for this basic sourdough bread recipe. Remove the bread dough just before baking begins.
- Transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a batard or boule.
- Turn your dough over and place it into a proofing basket, or cheesecloth-lined bowl, seam side up. Bulk ferment your sourdough in a warm spot for 3-5 hours.
- Place a cast iron pot or Dutch oven into your oven, and preheat it to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover the sourdough and transfer it to a large square of parchment paper. Score the dough with a knife or razor blade.
- Use your parchment paper to lift and lower the bread dough into your hot Dutch oven. Place the lid on and cook the sourdough for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake uncovered for a further 15 minutes. And there you have it, a simple bread machine sourdough recipe!
