SOFT CRUST SOURDOUGH BREAD
I adapted this recipe from a non-sourdough recipe by NZ cooking greats Alison and Simon Holst. It also works well using half white and half wholemeal flour. Note: the time this takes to prepare really depends on how active your sourdough is and you might choose to put your dough in a cool place to slow the rise and develop the sour flavour more, I like to take my time and start in the morning and bake it before dinner.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together and knead dough for about five minutes. If dough is too sticky, add slightly more flour but dough should be soft and not dry and stiff. Place in oiled bowl and allow dough to rise for 3-4 hours or until nearly doubled in size.
- Divide dough into two pieces and shape into loaves and place in two greased bread pans or proving baskets. If a free form loaf is desired, place on greased baking sheet. Spray with oil and cover with plastic wrap to keep from drying out. Allow to rise for 2-3 hours. About 30min before the bread is ready pre heat your oven to 450f/250c.
- When dough has risen, slash the top of the loaf. Place in pre heated oven at the high temp for 10min ( this will give lovely crust with great colour, do not fear it will not burn in this time) then reduce temp to 375f/190c for a further 20 minute.
Tips:
- Use fresh, active sourdough starter. This is essential for creating a light and airy loaf of bread.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the bread rise evenly.
- Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the bread tough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Bake the bread in a Dutch oven or other covered baking dish. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.
Conclusion:
Sourdough bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional white bread. It is easy to make at home and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can master the art of sourdough baking and create delicious loaves of bread that your family and friends will love.
