You’re welcome. I’ve used hundreds of recipes over the last ten years until I finally tried the King Arthur recipe. Then just tweaked it until I got results I like. King Arthur’s site has much more drawn out directions that result in tough bread.
I have found simple is most times best.
240g sourdough starter (1:1 flour to water by weight)
625g bread flour
340g lukewarm water
2.5 tsp salt
1 tsp citric acid (sour salt)
It’s a King Arthur flour recipe with 20g more flour. Machine knead for 3-4 minutes. Let set in bowl for 30-45 minutes. Machine knead again. Roll onto oiled...
Sourdough is very forgiving in this sense. It will just take longer to raise.
My go to recipe is King Arthur tangy sourdough. They list grams there too.
The term use was meant to reference things like sandwiches and toast. Typically it’s eaten before it cools the first time.
My whole family would take a slice of hot bread with butter (real stuff, not that almost plastic fake crap) over a slice of pie or piece of cake.
It is simple. Knead till the dough says it’s ready. Sometimes it’s 10-15 minutes worth, sometimes 30 minutes.
The original recipe called for overnight in fridge and fancy stretch and fold stuff. I frankly have more things to do vs dedicating 4-5 hours spread over a day and a half for a couple...
Cup of starter, active. Not out of fridge or just fed.
5 cups flour, I use Gold Medal bread flour
2-1/2 teaspoons salt plus a pinch
1 teaspoon sour salt (citric acid)
1-1/2 cups Luke warm water
Mix everything except dry flour together first. Then add flour.
I knead the dough until it passes...
I’ll eat any hot bread once it breaks the magic 4/10 barrier. If the brick has salt, it’s edible. No salt, but not quite a brick.... edible (needs salt shaker)
I think I’m an addict
