1) Place all ingredients in the bowl of mixer; beat 10 minutes to make soft dough.

2) Cover dough and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hour, stretch & fold every 30 minutes.

3) Divide dough into 2 pieces

4) Shape each piece into round loaf, cover; let it rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 40-60 minutes.

5) Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 F.

6) Before baking dust flour over the top of the loaf, slash the bread.

Hi.
Is your sourdough starter thin (i.e. 100% hydrated) or thick (i.e. 25-50% hydrated)? Also I'm assuming that it's not a sweet sourdough starter, right?
Thanks

zorra,
Thanks

Anonymous,
about the starter I use 1\2 part water + 1 part flour with a pinch of salt & sugar.
Feed the sourdough at least once a day (usually in the evening) with 1 part flour and 1 part water.
so my starter not so thin.
I hope this help you.
