Ingredients: 4 cups organic white bread flour, spooned and leveled (520 grams total flour) -please don’t include the weight of the bowl! I Highly Recommend weighing for the first few loaves. (See notes for adding other types of flour.); 2 teaspoons fine sea salt (12 grams); 1 7/8 cups filtered water (385 grams); 1/3 cup sourdough starter (90 grams) fed 8-12 hours earlier, using it slightly after peaking (or use an unfed starter, 4-6 days after feeding if refrigerated- for a more “sour” taste- see notes.); rice flour (my favorite) or extra flour for dusting; seeds for flavoring: fennel seeds, anise seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, caraway seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dill seeds, celery seeds, nigella seeds, etc. (optional, but tasty); Substitute 1/2 cup rye flour, spelt or whole wheat flour or other whole-grain flour for 1/2 cup of the white bread flour if you like- resisting the temptation to add more for your first few loaves. (62 grams max.); Add seeds and/or whole spices (fennel, caraway, onion seeds, dill seeds, chia, hemp, flax ) My favorite is 1 teaspoon fennel, 1/2 teaspoon caraway and 1 tablespoon chia– or add herbs ( rosemary, thyme, sage, etc)
