Sourdough baking

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!
