Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl except for the salt and mix with a spoon or spatula. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Add the salt and knead until the dough is smooth and passes the windowpane test. The dough should be slightly tacky. If the dough is full on sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, or add a teaspoon of water if it is dry. If adding seeds or nuts, add them at the end of kneading and knead by hand to incorporate.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and put the bowl in a warm location until it has doubled in size, about 1½ hours. The microwave or a 80°F oven works well here.
  4. Shape into a sandwich loaf and let rise in a greased 9 by 5 inch bread loaf pan until it is about an inch over the side of the loaf pan, about 1½ hours.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F at least 30 minutes before baking.
  6. Bake your sourdough discard sandwich loaf for 30 minutes until it is golden brown, the internal temperature is 190℉, and it sounds hollow when thumped on the loaf bottom.
  7. Remove the sandwich bread from the loaf pan immediately, and let cool on a baking rack for at least one hour before cutting.

Notes

  • This sourdough discard bread recipe creates a sandwich loaf with the flavor of sourdough but much less time and effort due to commercial yeast.
  • The recipe uses a relatively larger amount of yeast for an unenriched bread recipe because it's the sourdough discard that provides flavor.
  • The recipe is written using instant yeast, but feel free to use whatever commercial yeast you are comfortable using.
  • Times here may be faster or slower depending on the activity of the yeast in your sourdough discard and your commercial yeast.
  • You can sub up to 1 cup of whole wheat, rye or other flour without much change to the recipe.  Or add in up to 1 cup of toasted nuts or seeds.
