Steps to make Sourdough Bread:
  1. Day 1 - Morning, take starter out of fridge and feed (40ml plain flour, 40ml water), repeat 5-6 hours later. Another 5-6 hours later make the levain for your bread by mixing together 75g flour of choice (see ingredients), 75g water and 75g sourdough starter - leave out over night (10-12hrs), covered but with air hole(s).
  2. Day 2 - Morning, when the Levain is almost ready, mix all of your bread flour with 500ml water thoroughly & leave (covered) for 45-60 mins (this strengthens the gluten). When done stir the salt into the remaining 25ml water and add to the bread flour with 120g of your bread levain (the rest is for the bin). Scrunch together to mix fully then leave (covered) for 45-60 mins.
  3. Day 2 - at least 3 sets (1 set = 4 folds) of stretch & folds over minimum 1 hour (every 20 mins). After the last, cover and leave for 1 hour (the warmer the better).
  4. Next, weigh & cut the dough into 2 pieces ready to shape before bulk fermentation. When shaping, use a dough scraper to pull tight and create tension (watch you tube videos for better understanding).
  5. Once shaped, sprinkle plenty of rice flour on top so it doesn't stick, flip over with scraper and put carefully into your banneton or bowl. Make sure well stitched at the top, sprinkle more rice flour, leave out for 30-45 mins then cover & put into the fridge for 12-16 hours.
  6. Day 3 - Take out of fridge whilst Oven is heating to 240'. Get your dutch ovens ready (no knead to heat), put a length of baking paper over bread & flip out carefully into dutch oven so baking paper is on the bottom (prevents burnage). When oven is ready, score your bread for a better rise.
  7. Day 3 - Bake in middle or low oven at 240' with lid on for 35 mins then remove lid and turn down to 220 for a further 20 mins. If baking without a dutch oven, add a dish of water to the oven and bake for 45 min straight at 225'.
  8. Leave to cool FULLY before cutting.
