Homemade Sourdough Bread 🍞

If you've been wanting to try making sourdough bread at home, this is your sign to give it a go! With just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you'll have the most delicious, tangy, and crunchy bread fresh out of your oven.

😍 Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

¼ cup (50 g) active sourdough starter (100% hydration)

1 ⅓ cups + 2 tablespoons (350 g) water

2 teaspoons (10 g) fine sea salt

4 cups + 2 tablespoons (500 g) bread flour

Instructions:

Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine 500 g of bread flour and 350 g of water. Stir until just combined and let it rest for 30 minutes (autolyse).

Add Starter & Salt:
Add 50 g of sourdough starter and 10 g of salt. Mix everything together until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky at first.

Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or use the stretch-and-fold method for 5-6 minutes.

Bulk Fermentation:
Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Do stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.

Shape the Dough:
Once doubled in size, gently shape the dough into a round or oval loaf.

Proof the Dough:
Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 12-14 hours for more flavor.

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) about 30-45 minutes before baking.

Score & Bake:
Score the dough, place it in a preheated Dutch oven, and bake for 20 minutes covered, then 25-30 minutes uncovered until golden and hollow when tapped.

Cool & Enjoy:
Let the bread cool for at least an hour before slicing and enjoy the crispy, tangy goodness!

Baking sourdough is an art, but it’s so worth the effort. Tag a friend who loves homemade bread, and share your creations with me! 🥖✨

Why use a white hybridized synthetically modified all purpose flour when you can try our heritage red fife general purpose?

Our GP has one simple ingredient. Red fife BC grown organic wheat 🌾 that's it. Our sifted flours have an approx extraction rate of 80% meaning that only 20% of the bran and germ is removed.

Boost your sourdough game by grabbing our dehydrated #sourdoustarter!

Add this pack to your fave sourdough starter vessel with a couple TBS of water and let it soak up all that moisture until you can stir it into a paste.

Add 15 g of flour and enough water to make a thick pancake batter consistency. Do this daily increasing the flour and water slightly. Basically you want equal parts flour to starter and just enough water to create a thick batter.

After day three there should be some activity/bubbles forming. Discard half your mixture and re feed equal parts flour:starter and a bit of water. Your starter should be starting to double! The more you feed the stronger it will get!

Discard so you don't need to feed as much...you can add discard to many recipes like pancakes or crackers! After about a week once it forms a better flavor you can use your discard in recipes like pancakes and crackers!

This is a GUIDE, and meant to help get your starter going, things like humidity and temperature and elevation matter with sourdough and sourdough starters and every environment is a little bit different so make sure to find a nice warm spot to get going!

Tips for baking with fresh milled flour!

1. It hasn't oxidised so will proof faster if making breads or things with leaveners

2. It will soak up more water, so if your dough is dry try adding a couple extra tablespoons of water to your recipes!

Our flour is never enriched and never altered. Just pure, fresh, and always made from organic BC grains!

Sourdough shouldn't be hard and we all want that nice oven spring and large signature sourdough ear don't we? 🍞 🥖

🌾
🌾

Here is an amazing tip to help you if maybe you forgot about your dough and it's totally overproofed or you just want to achieve a nice oven spring and rise every time no matter what! Do this 👇

🌾
🌾

Go in for a SECOND score 5 minutes after starting your bake. Scoring only the main score. Not the pretty designs you maybe made just the main steam escape score!

🌾
🌾

If you have a super over proofed loaf and you are worried it will deflate the minute you cut into it then WAIT 🛑 don't score at all...just pop that loaf directly into the oven and score it after 5 minutes.

Fall in love with whole grain goodness 🍂 🌾

When we traditionally & slowly stone mill our flour soooooo much more of the flavor, nutrients and grain are kept intact.

Each grain offers a different aroma and taste, and can be used in so many different ways adding beautiful FLAVOR to any bake. Whole grain flour not only adds a ton of vitamins and minerals to your diet but also fiber which is so important for gut health. So many people, me included, are intolerant to white industrialized enriched flour these days. Bloated, gut issues, fog and so many other problems but when we eat whole grain, fresh stone ground flour the aftermath is quite opposite! We hear from customers all the time that when they bake using our products they feel great, that our flour isn't inflaming their system, that their bakes make them feel full and satisfied LONGER.

Our flour will never be enriched or altered and whole, amazing Canadian grains will always be our only ingredient. Clean, natural, whole delicious food 🍞 🥖😋

When you see a dark brownish alarming liquid on top of your sourdough starter...

This is called HOOCH and It's totally FINE-just means your starter is hungry!! So feed her! I love a 1:1 ratio flour and starter with just a bit of water to create a thick batter. If you have your starter out on the counter for daily use I suggest storing in a cool spot so she doesn't eat too quickly and you aren't having to feed her more than once a day. Temperature is super important when dealing with sourdough in general. Cool temps slow things down where warmer temps speed everything up.

#sourdoughstarter #saltspringislandmiller #bcfoodproducer #madeinbc🇨🇦 #flourmiller #bcflourmiller #britishcolumbiafood #saltspringflour #britishcolumbiacanada

Rehydrate our sourdough starter with me...

1. Add your dehydrated starter to a jar and add just enough water to cover. Leave this on the counter for a couple hours or until the flakes have absorbed enough water to mix together.

2. Add 2 TBS of flour and stir until fully incorporated. Add just enough water to form a thick pancake batter consistency and let this sit on the counter over night

3. The next day feed another 2 TBS of flour and enough water to form a thick pancake batter consistency.

4. Repeat step three one or two more times daily. TIP. if a liquid forms on the top of your starter DO NOT PANIC...this just means your starter is working and it's hungry again so feed another two tablespoons flour and add a dash of water this might be the second feed of the day and that's totally fine!!!

5. After a few feedings your starter should be bubbling and doubling. Once this happens discard half your starter and feed once more equal parts starter:flour with just enough water to form a thick pancake batter!

6. Once it doubles again you can use it in all your fave sourdough recipes!

This took a total of three days. I fed twice on day 2 and by the end of the day it had doubled, on day 3 I fed equal parts flour:starter and was able to bake with it that same afternoon.

Let's normalize whole grain flour over refined enriched nothingness that literally does nothing but create a multitude of digestive issues. The food we eat shouldn't be laden with chemicals in order to grow the crop, it shouldn't need to have fake minerals and vitamins added to it not to mention things like bleach and other suss allowable "ingredients"

Flour should have ONE ingredient. ONE! And that's what you will find when you look at our label. We will always prioritize health and nutrition over anything else.

A sneak peak behind the scenes...

The day has finally arrived. Our stone mills have been turned on and test milling has begun!

We have been milling using a stone burr mill but I knew immediately we needed these slower traditional stone mills. Why? Well there are so many reasons but to name the top few...

🌾 The process is slower making it easier to maintain an appropriate temperature which is paramount in creating the most nutrient dense product we can possibly make!
🌾 We believe in traditional practices in order to create a more natural nutritious product
🌾 Slowly stone milling preserves so much flavor in the flour.

Not to mention they look SO COOL! So old even tho they are new and sooooo rustic.

I literally have to pinch myself sometimes because this feels like a dream. A dream to get to live on such a beautiful island and even more so being able to mill for humans who KNOW and appreciate so much what we are doing.

Side note...the hoppers are off while we test of you were wondering why they might look a little "off"

We love you salt spring.

The food we eat should be fresh. That's why our flour is milled to order.

The active enzymes available in fresh milled flour are unbeatable and the flavor is pure perfection, because each grain produces a different taste. With the exception of our bread flour and general purpose, our products are whole grain. This is the most important part. Keeping all the fibre in the flour helps with creating a healthier gut microbiome, will keep you fuller...longer, and can encourage sustainable energy levels throughout the day.

The products we do sift are to an 80% extraction rate meaning 80% if the whole grain is left intact within the flour.

Shopping locally and sourcing ingredients within the province also keeps our flour that much more fresh and our footprint small all while supporting local farmers! 🚜 🌾

Our flour is different. It's whole, it's unaltered, it's fresh and filled with nutrition. Below you will find the major do's and don'ts here at @saltspringflourco

✔️ We source only organically grown grain
✔️ We do stone mill in small batches to ensure quality
✔️ We do prioritize wellness and whole foods over refined
✔️ We do sift approx 20% of bran and germ from our Red Fife General Purpose and bread flour made from hard red wheat to create a finer end product.

❌ We do not fortify our flour
❌ We do not enrich our flour
❌ We do not over refine or remove all of the bran and germ.

When you bake with whole grains the main difference is hydration. Whole flours need a bit more liquid, whether that be water, milk, oil whatever...it will need more because there is so much more for the liquids to soak into. You will also get a different texture and next level taste in whatever you are creating 🧁 🍞 🥧

You asked for emmer so we are bringing you a limited release at this week's @saltspringtuesdaymarket!! Make sure to get there early to snag some before it's gone!

🌾 Emmer is a foundational ancient grain and is the second oldest of the four ancestral wheats (Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt and Khorasan/Kamut). It has been grown for millennia in the middle east, North Africa and Italy where it is known as ‘Farro Vero’ or True Farro. Emmer ultimately gave rise to durum wheat and Khorasan, which it predates by more than 4,000 years.

Emmer makes wonderful pasta and is considered superior by many Italian pasta makers. 🍝
