Homemade Sourdough Artisan Bread
The BEST Sourdough Bread Recipe from Scratch by Nicole Martinez. This recipe includes how to make your own sourdough starter from scratch. Step-by-step instructions on how to make homemade sourdough + a how to video and audio. This recipe is great as is or you can add inclusions in as you like!
Ingredients
- 150 grams active starter see notes below for how to make your own starter.
- 350 grams room temp/slightly warm water
- 10 grams salt
- 500 grams flour (I use all purpose flour)
Instructions
Making the Sourdough Dough
-
Combine 150 grams of active starter and 350 grams room temp/slightly warm water. Mix until milky.
-
Once you have the milky liquid, add in: 10 grams salt and 500 grams flour ( I use all purpose flour). Mix it into a shaggy dough (until all flour is incorporated)
-
Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap & let it sit for one hour.
Stretch and Folds
-
Preform first set of stretch & folds (you can watch how to do stretch and folds in the below video)
-
Cover & let dough sit 30-40 minutes
-
2nd stretch and folds
-
Cover & let set 30-40 minutes
-
3rd stretch and folds
-
Cover & let it sit to bulk ferment on your counter for 2-3 hours. *I typically know my dough is ready to pre-shape when I tip the bowl and see it start to slide out clean. Using the warm water when you are mixing your starter and water causes the bulk fermentation process to go a little faster. If you use cold water to mix, the bulk fermentation processes will go a bit slower.*
Shape your Sourdough Bread
-
Dump your dough onto a light floured counter space and “pre -hape” your dough (you can watch how to do the shape in the below video)
-
Let rest 20-30 minutes on the counter counter. Cover with a towel.
-
“Final shape” your dough and put into a bowl lined with a lightly floured towel.
-
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to “proof” over night up to 24 hours.
Baking your Sourdough Bread
-
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450 and put your Dutch oven inside to heat up for 30 minutes.
-
When the oven and the Dutch oven are hot dump the dough from the bowl onto parchment paper.
-
Sprinkle with flour on top of the dough. Sore your bread. (Make sure to get a good “ear” score by cutting one deep long line somewhere on your dough!)
-
Lift your dough with the parchment paper and put your dough with parchment paper into your Dutch oven.
-
Then bake with the lid on, on top for 20 minutes.
-
Then remove the lid from the dutch oven and bake for another 20 minutes! (You can play with that end time and go with your own desired doneness!)
-
Remove your bread from the dutch oven by lifting the bread out with the parchement paper. Let the bread sit for one hour to cool! Enjoy!
