Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Loaf Pans
  • Kitchen Scale
  • Spatula
  • Bread Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 235 grams Sourdough Starter
  • 112 grams Butter
  • 45 grams Honey
  • 17 grams Salt
  • 590 grams Water
  • 1120 grams Flour

Instructions
 

Feed your starter.

  • Ideally it needs 4-8 hours to grow so as long as you feed it with flour and water by 1pm you should have active bubbly starter in time to throw it all together.

When starter has at least doubled in size you can add ingredients together.

  • Add all ingredients to a stand mixer and weigh everything on your scale, taring before each additional ingredient.

Blend

  • Blend in the stand mixer on lowest speed for 10 minutes or until the dough passes the window pane test and is pulling away from the sides of the bowl.

Shape and Rise

  • Shape dough into nice round ball and cover with a bowl cover or tea towel. Store in warm place such as the stove top or at least an inside wall of the house. Let the dough ferment and rise for 8-12 hours.
  • Next morning after bulk rise, grease 2 loaf pans with butter or oil of choice.
  • Punch the dough down gently and shape into an oval on a silicone baking mat or lightly floured surface.
  • Use a large knife or a dough scraper to cut the dough in two equal halves. Then shape each half into an oval and fold over to fit into your loaf pan. Place both pans in a warm spot, cover with a tea towel and let rise for 2-4 hours.

Bake the bread

  • You made it to the best part and what will leave your house smelling delicious! Once the loaves have doubled in size, you can transfer them to your 375 degree preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the thermometer says 200 degrees internal temp.

Cool the bread then slice

  • This is important. The bread needs to cool before you slice it or it won't hold up as well or stay fresh as long.
