Simple Sourdough Bread

– 2 cups sourdough starter – 5–6 cups whole wheat flour – 1 heaping Tbsp salt – 1 cup filtered water

Ingredients

Mix starter, water and 3 cups of whole wheat flour. Add salt and remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until your dough is slightly sticky and “pourable.”

Pour dough into a loaf pan or banneton and fill 1/3 way up. Cover with a towel and allow to sit in a warm place for 4-12 hours, until at least doubled in size.

Place loaves in a cold oven and turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are golden and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
