Ingredients

  • 100 g Active sourdough starter
  • 320 ml Warm water,
  • 500 g Bread flour
  • 10 g Salt
  • Optional: a little olive oil or butter for brushing the loaf

Instructions

  • Feed your starter a few hours before you bake, so it’s bubbly and awake. If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need to build a starter first—but this recipe assumes you have one.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together starter and warm water until it looks a bit milky and alive. Add flour and mix until you have shaggy dough. No need to be perfect—texture matters more than exact measurements here.
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. This is called autolyse, and yes, it sounds fancy. It gives the flour a chance to soak up water and makes the dough easier to shape.
  • Sprinkle in salt and knead briefly until the dough smooths out. Yo
