Ingredients

  • 1.5 tsp instant yeast or rapid rise yeast
  • 1.5 tsp table salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups ripe sourdough starter see notes
  • 0.5 cups water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead 15 minutes by hand (or gently mix for 10 minutes with an electric mixer) to make a soft, smooth dough.
  2. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl and let it rise for about 45 minutes, or just until puffy but not quite doubled in volume.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x5" loaf pan and set aside. On a lightly greased work surface, gently deflate the dough, and form it into a loaf shape. Place loaf in the prepared pan, cover with lightly-greased plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 60 minutes in a warm, draft-free room, until dough rises about 1-inch above the rim of the pan.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. If desired, use a sharp knife to very gently score the top of loaf a few times with shallow cuts. Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and puffed up.
  5. Cool bread in pan for 5 minutes, and gently turn it upside down, out of the pan and onto a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use your own ripened sourdough starter, or you can use a live sourdough starter and follow simple package instructions for ripening before use. 
  • Bread can keep for several days at mild to moderate room temperature, wrapped airtight. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Refrigeration is not recommended.
  • If you'd like, use a food thermometer to check internal temperature of the bread, for doneness. It should register 190F when it's ready to take out of the oven.
