GRANDMA'S SOURDOUGH BREAD

Grandma's Sourdough Bread image

This is a recipe from an old cookbook. I only have a few pages left so I can't say what the cookbook was called or where it came from. I found the pages glued to cardstock in the pages of a binder which belonged to my grandmother. I made this bread for the first time a year ago. It makes a wonderful loaf of bread, tastes like REAL sourdough to me. It has beer in it (the brand with rocky mountain water in it) and it takes a nice flavor from the beer. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do ! I have also posted the starter recipe. ENJOY!!!!!!

My grandma makes these every time we go over for dinner. I got my starter from her, so I too make these every couple weeks when I need to use up some starter. They are really fast and easy, and taste delicious right out of the oven.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your bread.
Make sure your starter is active. It's ready when it's doubled in size and bubbly.
Be patient. Sourdough bread takes time to rise and bake. Plan on spending at least 12 hours, preferably overnight, on the process.
Don't over-knead the dough. Sourdough dough is more delicate than other breads, so be gentle with it.
Use a Dutch oven for baking. This will create a steamy environment that helps the bread rise and develop a nice crust.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the flavor develop and prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Sourdough bread is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile bread that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply slathered with butter. With a little practice, you can easily master the art of making sourdough bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
