Janet's Sourdough Bread


  • 1.5 Cup White Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Starter
  • 1 Cup Water

This makes a dense loaf. (Adapted from Jim Lahey's no-knead method)

Pour off liquid, then feed start with 1 cup white flour and 1 cup water, let sit for an hour or until very foamy.

Combine all ingredients into a large bowl.

Mix, then gently knead with a spoon. Let rest for several hours, then repeat the knead/rest. Repeat until dough doesn't spring back when poked with a finger.

Preheat oven at 500 deg. Grease a bread (loaf) pan. Put the dough in the pan, shape if needed, slash the top. Cover tightly with foil and bake 25 min.

After 25 min, remove foil, lower oven temp to 450, bake 12 more minutes.

Bread is done with internal temp is 190 deg.

Let cool completely before slicing.
