Let’s bake the perfect loaf at home!

Homemade Sourdough
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, 225ml of warm water, the salt, honey and starter and mix until combined. (If the mixture is too sticky you'll need to add more water).
-
Dust a clean work surface with flour and knead the dough for 10 minutes. Pop the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave in a warm area of the home for 3 hours.
-
Line a bowl with a clean tea towel, sprinkle with flour, pop the dough on to your work surface, knead into a ball and dust with flour.
-
Pop into the prepare bowl, cover with cling film and leave to double in size.
-
Heat a baking tray in the oven at 230C or 210C for fan assisted ovens, pour some water into a roasting tin and place at the bottom of the oven. Sprinkle the baking tray with flour (be careful it will be hot!) and add the dough.
-
Slash the top of the dough with a knife, bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool.
