Basic Sourdough Bread

Basic Sourdough Bread

Not the best looking loaf, but it sure tasted good.

• 2 cups sourdough starter
• 1 cup hot tap water
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 cups flour

Knead to make the dough, put in an oiled (Vegetable oil, so the dough doesn't stick to sides) bowl. Put a towel over the bowl and let it sit all day or night (8 to 9.5 hrs, or more depending on the temperature).

Then Punch it down and knead the dough. Place in a small oiled bread pan and let it rise again so that it crests the pan (2 to 3.5 hrs, again depending on the temperature) .

Bake at 375 Degrees for 30 minutes.

How I learned to make bread

I watched a lot of videos, and this one has helped me the most, and I seem to refer to this to remember how to do it.

How to make sourdough bread at home

My Starter

• Here it is before this load of bread
• My started is almost 2 years old. 
• Sometimes I forget to feed it. Onetime I did not feed it for over a month and a half. 
• I mainly only feed it all purpose flour and water, but I read somewhere that someone feed their sugar and milk. I did that after this past loaf of bread to see what happens. I need to check it
