SOURDOUGH BROWN BREAD

This is something I came up with when I had some leftover proofed sourdough starter that I needed to use up. And it turned out to be yummy! I used my KitchenAid mixer to mix and knead the dough, but I suppose you could make this dough in your bread machine, then pull it out, shape it and bake in the oven. Note: Prep time does not include rising time.

Categories Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
½ cup dark rye flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup raisins, optional (I used currants for this version)
¾ cup blackstrap molasses
1½ cups milk
1 cup rye sourdough starter

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, mix together the molasses, milk, and sourdough starter
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well.
Grease the inside of 4 wide-mouth pint canning jars with butter.
Divide the dough among the jars.
Cover each jar with aluminum foil.
Place jars in a canning basket. Lower basket into a water bath canner with boiling water. The water should be about ⅔ of the way up the jars.
Reduce heat and steam bread for 1 - 1½ hours or until done. Check occasionally to make sure the canner doesn't boil dry.
Remove from canner. Let cool slightly. Remove bread from the jars. You may need to run a butter knife down the side of the jar to gently dislodge the bread.
Cool on a cooling rack.
Sliced bread can be steamed to re-heat.
Optional Steaming Directions:
Use a large pot instead of the water bath steamer. Place something on the bottom of the pot to keep the jars off of the bottom, canning lids or crinkled aluminum foil or a steamer basket would work. Instead of canning jars use 4 clean, 15 oz cans.
Optional Baking Directions:
Spoon batter into a greased bread loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour.

Tips:

Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using it in this recipe. If your starter is not active, it will not produce the necessary acids and gases to leaven the bread.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake the bread in a regular loaf pan. However, the Dutch oven will help to create a steamy environment that will give the bread a crispy crust.
To check if the bread is done baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing it. This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This sourdough brown bread is a delicious and hearty bread that is perfect for any meal. It is made with simple ingredients and is easy to make. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe is sure to produce a loaf of bread that you will love.
