SOURDOUGH SANDWICH LOAF

 SOURDOUGH SANDWICH LOAF

Ever since I started baking bread again after a long break, this is my regular.

We have grown to like this bread more and more.

I use machine to knead the dough, with minimum handling except during shaping.

If you are interested to try your hands, I will gladly share with you this simple recipe.

Ingredients (makes 2 loaves of 450g each)

300g sourdough 

350g bread flour 

2 Tbsp milk powder

2 Tbsp castor sugar

1 tsp salt

170g water

40g butter

Method:

1) all ingredients into the machine & knead until the dough is smooth (about 10min)

2) cover, and let rest 60min

3) divide dough into 4 equal portions, and shape into balls

4) place 2 balls side by side into each oiled bread pan

5) allow to proof  3-4 hours until triple in size 

6) bake in preheated oven 190’C for 45min (Tent the bread if it gets dark)

Notes:

1) proofing time depends on the weather & temperature.

    You may shorten the proofing time by putting the dough into an oven, 

    Also, can put a cup of hot water inside to help speed up.
