Rustic Sourdough Bread, King Tut and an Homage to Steve Martin
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces "fed" sourdough starter
  • 12 ounces lukewarm water
  • 2 t. instant yeast
  • 2 T. King Arthur Flour Sourdough powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 21 1/4 ounces King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients. Knead to form a smooth dough.
  2. Set your dough aside to rise for about 90 minutes in a greased and covered bowl. You want the dough to double in size.
  3. Once your dough has doubled in size, divide it (gently) into two parts.
  4. Shape the dough into two oval loaves and place them on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the loaves and let them rise for about an hour. The dough should be puffy after the rise.
  5. While your dough is rising preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  6. Spray the surface of the loaves with lukewarm water. Make two diagonal slashes on each loaf using a bread lame or a serrated bread knife.
  7. Bake the bread for 25 o 30 minutes. When it is done it should be a very deep golden brown color. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack.
