You can feel smug after baking this simple sourdough recipe! Perfect for toasting!

Ingredients

  • 500g strong flour

  • 300ml water

  • 150g starter

  • 8g salt

Method

  1. Place water into a bowl and weigh the starter into the same bowl.

  2. Weigh out flour and salt into a bowl.

  3. Now add the flour to the water and mix thoroughly. Allow to prove overnight.

  4. Knock back and place into well-floured banneton, allow to prove for about 4 hrs. If you don’t have a banneton, you can use a bowl lined with a clean, lightly floured tea towel.

  5. When ready, place on a floured tray and put in a pre-heated oven at 240°C for 24 – 30 minutes*

  6. Take out and tap its bum to see if it is cooked.

  7. Allow to cool before cutting into it. If you can bear it!

    *You should have a metal tray in the bottom of the oven to throw a small cup of cold water onto to create steam. Put bread in bottom oven, throw water over & close quickly
