Easy Sourdough Sandwich Bread

A simple and easy recipe for homemade sourdough sandwich bread. Made with all purpose flour and just a touch of butter. I like to make the dough at night so we can have fresh bread in the morning. This loaf freezes well (whole or sliced). I recommend this loaf pan. Helpful Tips: For best results, weigh your ingredients with a scale instead of using measuring cups. Weight and volume measurements are not equal, only approximate! For example: If your starter is very bubbly, 1/4 cup might only weigh 30 g which is too little for this recipe (you need 50 g). The dough will take forever to rise. Same goes for the flour: 4 cups might weigh over 500 g depending on how tight the flour was packed into the cup. More flour = dry dough. This recipe works with Whole Foods 365 Everyday, King Arthur and Trader Joe's all purpose flour. If using another brand with a lower protein content (i.e. Gold Medal, Pillsbury, Heckers) consider reducing the total water amount by 15 g. For a variation of this recipe with more sourdough starter, please choose one of the following adjustments below, keeping the rest of the ingredient quantities the same: 100 g starter + 255 g water 150 g starter + 250 g water Additionally, because temperature controls time: you can also increase your surrounding temperature for the bulk or second rise, as needed. Place the dough in a proofing box set to 75-80 F. Or, preheat your home oven to 75-80 F and then shut it off immediately (use an oven thermometer to make sure it’s set to exactly 80 F and not higher!). Place the covered dough inside until it bulks up. Do no use this option overnight- it will be too warm.
