Directions
- Set starter out on counter and bring to room temperature.
- Feed as you normally do and allow to become foamy and active.
- This will take 8 to 12 hours.
Directions
- Put all ingredients in the B/M and set on the dough cycle.
- When the cycle is complete, remove dough and squeeze out gases.
- Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 20 or 30 minutes.
- (This rest period makes the dough more pliable.)
Directions
- Sprinkle corn meal on a board and shape dough into two cylindrical loaves.
- Place loaves on a cornmeal covered baking sheet or in a special "baguette pan" that can be purchased at a kitchen store.
- Cover again with the damp towel and put in the refer for 12 to 24 hours.
Directions
- Take dough out of the refer, sprinkle with water, and let it sit out until the loaves are fully risen.
- (They will usually rise a little in the refer, too.)
Directions
- Spray again with water then bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until brown and crusty.
- If you want a really crusty bread, spray the loaf with water every five minutes while baking.
- This harder to describe than it is to do ...
- and the results are worth it!
Directions
- PLEASE NOTE: Depending on the temperature, humidity, and the whim of the starter, the bread will vary from batch to batch.
- Sometimes it is very sour and dense while other times it is mildly sour and fluffy inside.
- Each batch is unique...but it is always good.
- I found that using the special pan helped the baguettes keep their shape.
- The pan is well worth the fifteen bucks.
Directions
- You can also vary the flavor of the bread by using more or less sugar or by substituting 1 TBL of vinegar for 1 TBL of water.
- Another variation is to use flat beer instead of water in either the recipe or when feeding the starter.
- (Be sure to separate your starter into two batches first so that you do not contaminate the orignal pot.)
Directions
- Everytime I share this recipe, I get notes saying this is the beat sourdough ever! FOOD AND WINE CLUB TOPIC: BREADS AND PIZZA TIME: 01/09 7:54 PM
