Hell yeah, I'll have to try this. Do you put a tray of water in with it for the first half of the bake, or just let it ride? Also does it still take roughly 50 minutes?
No steam needed. It took me a while to develop this recipe. It’s so popular that I’ve made 8 loaves this month to give as holiday presents.
This will make two loaves.
Start with a Levain of 50/100/100
900g bread flour
400g buttermilk
Water 100g
20g salt
50g granulated sugar
110g butter
(I’ve found that there are different times of the year where I need to add more water than what I put up in the recipe, so you’ll have to play that by ear.)
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Bread is done when it has reached 190°F.
As I said before, no steam is needed. The crust comes out nice and soft.
If you want a really soft version of this bread that is great for toasting and making grilled cheese sandwiches, you’ll want to check out this recipe here… https://mrfunkedude.wordpress.com/2023/10/17/sourdough-buttermilk-sandwich-bread/
That’s another recipe that I developed.
Enjoy!
