Easy Sourdough Bread Recipe with Starter

Name: Easy Sourdough Bread Recipe with Starter
Prep time: 13 h
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 13 h 35 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 cups organic white bread flour, spooned and leveled (520 grams total flour) -please don’t include the bowl’s weight. I highly recommend weighing the flour for the first few loaves. (See notes for adding other types of flour.); 2 teaspoons fine sea salt (12 grams); 1 7/8 cups water (385 grams); 90 grams homemade sourdough starter or store-bought starter (⅓ cup) fed 8-12 hours earlier, using it slightly after peaking (For a more “sour” taste, use an unfed starter, 4-6 days after feeding if refrigerated- see notes.); rice flour (my favorite for dusting a banneton); Substitute 1/2 cup rye flour, spelt flour 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 herbs (fresh or dried- rosemary, thyme, sage, etc); Add nuts, olives, garlic, dried fruit or cheese (please see this Rosemary Olive Sourdough Bread Post, for more “how-to” instructions)
