Whole Wheat Sourdough Recipe

My Whole Wheat Sourdough recipe gives you a crusty, chewy, and perfectly proofed loaf of flavorful sourdough bread without much fuss.

Servings: 1 Loaf
Course: Breakfast , Lunch , Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) sourdough starter (fed/active)
  • 1 cup (8floz/225ml) lukewarm water, roughly*
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups (7½oz/213g) bread flour*
  • 1 ⅓ cups (6½oz/185g) whole wheat flour, fine
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Olive oil for greasing

Notes

  • *Bread flour: Bread flour yields a stronger, more defined structure to your bread. Can you use all-purpose flour? Technically yes, but for best results use bread flour. 
  • *Water: I say roughly because it can vary how much YOU need. Everyone's flour absorbs liquid differently so you might need a little more or even less. Just add enough until it forms a ball and cleans the bowl.
