- 1 1/2 cups active sourdough starter
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
- 2 teaspoons salt
Cooking Steps:
Step 1: Activate the Starter In a bowl, combine sourdough starter with lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes active and bubbly.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Add the activated sourdough starter mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4: First Rise Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
