Basic Sourdough Bread

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

Basic Sourdough bread that is great to have toasted with some jam for breakfast.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cups Wholewheat Flour ((or use 2¼cups of all purpose ))
• 1 cups Sourdough (Fed Starter)
• ¼ cup Potato flour
• 1 tsps yeast (Instant)
• 1 tsps sugar
• 1 tsps salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil ((divided))
• ½ cup water (Lukewarm)

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix and knead until a smooth, pliable dough is formed.
2. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover and set aside for 45~60 minutes or until puffy and almost doubled in volume.
3. Lightly grease a 9"x5" loaf pan.
4. On a lightly greased work surface, gently deflate the dough, and form it into a 9" log. Place the log seam side down in the prepared pan. Cover with a lightly greased wrap and let rise for 60~90 minutes, until it crests about 1" over the rim of the pan.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
6. Bake the bread for 40~50 minutes or until it's light golden and a digital thermometer inserted into the center reads 190°F.
7. Remove the bread from the oven and after a couple of minutes turn it out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool. Slice when the bread is completely cool.
