Ingredients
Scale
- 500g Bread Flour
- 300ml Water
- 100g Sourdough Starter
- 10g Salt
- 30ml Olive Oil
- 1 Large Egg
Instructions
- Combine the bread flour and water in a large mixing bowl, stirring until a rough dough forms.
- Incorporate the sourdough starter and salt into the dough. Knead by hand or using a stand mixer until smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes.
- Set the dough aside and let it rest for 30 minutes to enhance gluten formation.
- Knead in the olive oil and the beaten egg until fully integrated.
- Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan, allowing it to rise for another hour.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and sounding hollow when tapped.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for better mixing. Activate sourdough starter before use for optimal rise. Customization options include adding herbs or cheese.
