Ingredients Sourdough Sandwich Bread
- 1/2 cup softened butter or coconut oil (113 g)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (42 g for honey or 24 g for sugar)
- 1 tablespoon salt (17 g)
- 1 cup active, bubbly sourdough starter (227 g)
- 2 1/2 cups room temperature water (590 g)
- 8 cups all-purpose flour (1120 g)
Directions Sourdough Sandwich Bread
- Mix Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine all ingredients, adding the flour last. Adjust flour as needed based on the starter’s hydration.
- Knead the Dough: Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Perform the windowpane test for doneness.
- Bulk Rise: Let the dough rise in a warm place for 10-12 hours.
- Divide and Shape: Split the dough into two equal parts. Roll each piece into a rectangle, then roll up and place in greased or parchment-lined loaf pans.
- Second Rise: Allow the loaves to rise at room temperature for 2-4 hours until doubled in size.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, apply an egg wash for a golden crust. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden.
- Cool: Let the loaves cool completely before slicing.
