Ingredients:
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions:
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey or sugar.
- Gradually add the bread flour and salt, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Loaf:
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Second Rise:
- Let the dough rise for another 2-4 hours, or until it's puffy and fills the loaf pan.
- Bake the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it's golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool and Slice:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
