Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups lukewarm water at 110°F degrees
- 2/3 cup sourdough starter bubbly & active
- 1/3 cup cane sugar
- 8 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil to grease the pans
- 3 tbsp butter to brush the tops
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sourdough starter, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add in the bread flour and salt and mix until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Stretch and fold the dough one time. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12 hours or until the dough is light and fluffy.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts. Stretch each one into a rectangular shape. Press down the dough with your fingers to get rid of any extra bubbles.
- Roll up the dough into a log. Place it into an oiled bread pan. Repeat with the second half of dough. Let them rise for about an hour.
- Bake the bread at 375°F for about 45 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove the pans from the oven. Brush the tops with butter. Let the loaves rest for 5 minutes. Then, move the loaves to a cooling rack and let them rest for 30 minutes before cutting in.
