SOURDOUGH BREAD RECIPE

Before you begin, remember that the flour/sourdough starter ratio is one part flour to three parts starter. For example, if you use 900g of flour, you'll need 300g of starter.

Ingredients

• 300 gr of type 0 flour
• 300 g of Manitoba flour
• 200 g of sourdough starter
• 100 ml of warm water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• A pinch of salt

Preparation

• Start the first procedure in the evening, to allow the dough to rise all night (at least 6/8 hours).
• Sift the two flours and arrange them in a mound on a work surface. Pour in the sourdough starter, salt, water, and oil. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and homogeneous.
• Place the dough in a bowl and let it rise until doubled in volume, at a temperature of about 20° (the ideal is to place the bowl in the oven with the light on or next to a radiator, if it is winter).
• As soon as thedough it will have doubled its volume, establish the shape you want to give to the bread, working it with your hands.
• Let it rise for another two hours or so and then cook in the oven at 200° for 5 minutes, then at 180° for 20 minutes and then at 160° for half an hour.

And once ready, use the bread to prepare bruschetta , to be seasoned with these delicious homemade sauces :

• Chickpea hummus
• Zucchini pesto
• Walnut sauce
• Tofu cream
• Mint sauce
• Chili sauce
• Arugula and walnut pesto
