Soft and fluffy sourdough sandwich bread is made with all purpose flour, sourdough starter, butter and a little honey.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (softened or coconut oil (113 g))
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (42 g for honey or 24 g for sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon salt (17 g)
  • 1 cup starter (active and bubbly (227 g))
  • 2 1/2 cups water (590 g)
  • 8 cups all purpose flour (1120 g*)

Directions

  1. 1

    To a stand mixer, add all of the ingredients. I like to add the flour last, so I can add a bit less or more depending on my starter's hydration.

  2. 2

    Knead until dough is stretchy and smooth. You want it to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl and be smooth and elastic – about 10 minutes. It should pass the windowpane test.

  3. 3

    Allow to bulk rise for 10-12 hours in a warm place like on top of a stove or refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Divide in two equal parts.

  5. 5

    Shape by rolling the dough flat into a rectangle and rolling it up.

  6. 6

    Add to parchment lined or buttered loaf pans.

  7. 7

    Second rise for 2-4 hours at room temperature, or until doubled.

  8. 8

    Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, or until golden on top. You can add an optional egg wash for more browning.

  9. 9

    Allow to cool completely before slicing.
