Soft Crust Sourdough Bread image

I adapted this recipe from a non-sourdough recipe by NZ cooking greats Alison and Simon Holst. It also works well using half white and half wholemeal flour. Note: the time this takes to prepare really depends on how active your sourdough is and you might choose to put your dough in a cool place to slow the rise and develop the sour flavour more, I like to take my time and start in the morning and bake it before dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup active sourdough starter
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Mix together the first 5 ingredients and 1 cup of flour. Cover and leave in a warm place for at least 1 hour, it should start to rise a little.
  • Stir in the remaining flour. Knead for 10 minutes or until a soft dough forms that springs back when gently pressed.
