This is my tried-n-true recipe for a good sourdough bread.

Sourdough base

  • 50g / 50ml feeding ratio
  • throw out half and feed every 12-24h (depends on the type of flour)

Recipe

  • [evening] prepare the sourdough starter with 10g / 50g / 50ml ratio
  • [evening] prepare the bread base with 500g* / 350ml ratio (autolyse)
  • [morning] add 100g/10g of sourdough starter / salt ratio to the bread base
  • [evening] form the dough and leave it covered in the basket for ~1hr, afterwards leave it in the fridge till the morning
  • [morning] score the dough and bake it in the over for 30min covered and ~18min uncovered at 230°C

Tips

  • I use rye flour for the sourdough base (can be wholemeal)
  • use bread flour with 10-12g of protein
  • I usually begin the process in the evening, so that I can bake it in the morning
  • for the bread base I use Caputo; I combine 350g of wheat flour with 150g of wholewheat flour
