Description
This Sourdough Bread Bowl Recipe is your guide to creating a delicious, crusty vessel for soups and stews, enhancing your meal with rustic charm.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) active sourdough starter
- 3 cups (360g) bread flour
- 1 ½ cups (360g) warm water
- 2 teaspoons (12g) salt
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the active sourdough starter with warm water until dissolved. Add bread flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Or perform stretch and folds for 2 hours. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and proof for 4-6 hours until nearly doubled.
- Deflate the dough, shape it into a round, place in a floured banneton, and refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours).
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Invert dough into the Dutch oven, score the top, cover, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove lid and bake for another 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.
- Ensure your sourdough starter is bubbly and active.
- Experiment with scoring patterns for unique designs.
- Adjust oven temperature if the crust browns too quickly.
