Feeling like spreading some kindness? Here’s a delicious sourdough bread recipe to share with your neighbors! ☺️

Ingredients:
Bread flour 250g
Dark rye flour 100g
Starter 70g
Salt 7g
Water 280ml

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Sourdough Starter

1. Feed your sourdough starter with a ratio of 1 part starter: 1 part flour: 1 part water.
2. Let it rise until it reaches its peak activity (about 3 hours for mine).

Step 2: Make the Dough
1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. No need to knead—just mix until you form a shaggy dough.
2. Cover and let the dough rest for 45 minutes.
3. Perform a series of stretch-and-folds:
• Stretch and fold the dough once, then cover and rest for 45 minutes.
• Repeat this process 4 times in total.
4. Transfer the dough to a straight-sided container and let it proof until it almost doubles in size.

Step 3: Shape the Dough
1. Pre-shape the dough and let it rest on the counter for 20–30 minutes to relax the gluten.
2. Perform the final shaping and place the dough seam-side up into a well-dusted banneton or proofing basket.
3. Cover and refrigerate for about12 hours (cold retard).

Step 4: Bake the Bread
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (with the fan on).
2. Once the oven is hot, remove the dough from the fridge.
3. Turn the dough out seam-side down onto parchment paper and score the top.
4. Place the dough in the oven and spray some water to create steam (if you don’t have a Dutch oven).
5. Bake for 20 minutes at 220°C.
6. Lower the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
7. Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy sharing your homemade sourdough with your neighbors! 😋😊
