Ingredients
DRY INGREDIENTS
WET INGREDIENTS
Instructions
Prep the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine water, sourdough starter, oil, vinegar, and maple syrup.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix well for 2–3 minutes. The dough should be thick but sticky – like a thick batter.
Shape & First Rise:
Transfer dough to a parchment-lined loaf pan (8x4" or 9x5") or shape into a boule if using a Dutch oven.
Smooth the top with wet hands or a spatula.
Cover loosely with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature (ideally 70–75°F) for 4 to 12 hours, or until visibly risen by about 50%.
Optional Score:
If desired, gently score the top with a sharp knife or lame for a traditional sourdough look.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a Dutch oven, preheat it as well.
Bake in a loaf pan for 55–65 minutes, or in a Dutch oven for 50–60 minutes (covered for first 30 min, then uncovered).
Bread should sound hollow when tapped and internal temperature should be ~205°F (96°C).
Cool Completely:
Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Allow to cool completely (at least 1–2 hours) before slicing to prevent gumminess.
