  • 1 c. Sourdough starter
  • 2 1/2 c. Flour
  • 2 c. Hot water
  • 3 3/4 x To 4-1/4 C flour
  • 3 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 3 Tbsp. Vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Cool water
  2. Mix 1 st 3 ingreds. in 3 quart. glass bowl with wooden spoon till smooth.
  3. Cover; let stand in hot, draft-free place for 8 hrs. Add in 3-3/4 C flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and oil to the mix in bowl. Stir with wooden spoon till smooth and flour is completely absorbed. (Dough should be just hard sufficient to gather into a ball. If necessary, add in remaining 1/2 C flour gradually, stirring till all flour is absorbed.) Turn dough onto heavily floured surface; knead till smooth and elastic, about 10 min. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in hot place till double, about 1-1/2 hrs. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) Punch dough down; divide into halves. Shape each half into a round, slightly flat loaf. Don't tear dough by pulling. Place loaves in opposite corners of greased cookie sheet. Make three 1/4" deep slashes in each loaf. Let rise till double, about 45 min. Heat oven to 375. Brush loaves with cool water. Place cookie sheet in center of oven; it shouldn't touch the sides of the oven. Bake, brushing occasionally with water, till loaves sound hollow when tapped, about 50 min. Remove from cookie sheets; cold on wire racks.
  4. Be sure to let dough rise completely both times - it might take longer than the estimated times given.
