NUTRI SOURDOUGH SOFT TOAST

Sourdough Bread making can be tedious,

especially you need to wait long hours for the dough to proof.

This is a single proof recipe,

baked on the same day, if you have sufficient time to work on it.

If you do not have a bread machine,

and 

lazy to knead with your palms,

use the stand mixer with the dough hook.

I assure you, it can do the job beautifully.

The procedure can be done in one or two days, 

depending on the flexibility of your time.

It involves 2 stages of preparation of

1. sourdough

2. main dough

Notes:

If you suddenly remember you need a loaf of bread for tomorrow

1) Prepare starter

Take out 60g cold sourdough starter from the fridge, stir in 50g water & 50g bread flour and leave aside at room temperature to rise until 2X its original volume. This will take about 3 hours (1 hours longer than the above recipe).

2) Main dough

Follow Steps 1-4. When shaping is done, leave the bread dough on counter top to proof until 2X its original size (takes about 5-6 hours). Cover & leave in the fridge overnight. Next day, remove from fridge & leave on counter top to continue proof another hour until 3x in size. Bake as recipe.
