Equipment

  • stand mixer with dough hook
  • Large bowl
  • Loaf Pan

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup active sourdough starter bubbly
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer. Add the flour last to allow it to adjust based on the starter's hydration.
  • Mix with a dough hook until the dough is stretchy and incorporated. It should drop from the mixer and be smooth and elastic, taking around 10 minutes.
  • Undergo bulk fermentation for 10-12 hours in a warm location like on a stove or at the top of the fridge.
  • Form the proofed dough by flattening it into a rectangle and then rolling it up to fit the size of your pan.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined or greased loaf pan. Note: I prefer greased.
  • Allow for a second rise, 2-4 hours at room temperature, or until the dough doubles.
  • Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes, or until golden on top. For enhanced browning, consider an optional egg wash.
  • Let it cool entirely before slicing.
