Easy Sourdough for Every Day<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes in life, a good breakfast comes in handy.\u00a0 And by sometimes, I mean every single day.\u00a0 Breakfast is one of those means that I just can\u2019t live without and make sure that my family has a good meal before they go about their busy days.<\/p>\n

Our morning routine includes rousing the kids from their slumber, making sure they get dressed, and providing a health breakfast for them as they go about their day at school and beyond.\u00a0 For us, that means making them something every day.\u00a0 Either in the form of eggs and toast, oatmeal, or fresh fruit and milk, we make sure they have something we know is good for them before they head out the door.<\/p>\n

\u2026 It\u2019s not always easy, but we try!<\/p>\n

Enter the Sourdough<\/h2>\n

Making bread at home is a lifesaver in the breakfast department.\u00a0 Homemade bread is so much more nutritious than most of the store bought stuff.\u00a0 It\u2019s so much more flavorful too.\u00a0 Whenever we run out of homemade bread the kids ask if I can make some real quick.\u00a0 While I can\u2019t just wiggle my nose and pull out a fresh loaf from the oven, I can plan ahead and have something made for next time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note that all the equipment that I\u2019ve used for this bread is listed at the bottom of this post!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s probably one of my favorite things about baking bread.\u00a0 People often think that it\u2019s difficult or that you have to be super precise but the truth is, baking bread is really a forgiving process and once you figure out all of the puzzle pieces, you can rearrange your baking cycle and come up with a schedule that really works well in your favor.<\/p>\n

This bread was no exception.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I started it on a Tuesday after the kids got on the bus.\u00a0 I just mixed the ingredients and took the dog for a walk.<\/p>\n

    When making bread at home, one of the most impactful things you can do is let it rest.\u00a0 \u201cAutolyse\u201d comes from the word \u201cautolysis\u201d which means \u201cself digest\u201d.\u00a0 In other words, the dough starts to eat the nutrients in the ingredients and gluten starts to form and flavor starts to develop.\u00a0 This autolyse period is often forgotten or skipped with great detriment to the overall result of your loaf in terms of crust, crumb, and flavor.<\/p>\n

    I let this dough autolyse for about half an hour before adding the salt and the diastatic malt powder, then I mixed it in the KitchenAid for about 10 minutes on first speed (the one past \u201cmix\u201d).<\/p>\n

      A brief word on diastatic malt powder.\u00a0 I use it exclusively for sourdough breads.\u00a0 The diastatic malt powder acts as a \u201cslow burn\u201d type of fuel for the bread.\u00a0 It provides the bacteria in the bread the food that it needs to keep the bread going in the right direction over the period of a few days.\u00a0 I don\u2019t use much, usually just .5% (in this case it amounted to only 3 grams) but it\u2019s enough to make a difference.<\/p>\n

      After mixing the dough I let it rest at room temperature while I left for work.\u00a0 I normally come home around lunch time to take the dog for a walk so at lunchtime I put the dough in the fridge until I was ready to continue.<\/p>\n

        covered and ready to chill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        When I got home from work took it out of the fridge and let it acclimate to room temperature for about 2 or 3 hours.\u00a0 Then I did a few rounds of stretch and folds spread about 45 minutes apart.<\/p>\n

          \"everyday<\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          After the third stretch and fold I shaped it and put it in a floured proofing basket, covered it in plastic and put it in the fridge.<\/p>\n

          The next evening I finally was ready to bake, so I remove it from the fridge and preheated the oven to 450\u02daF for about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

          \"everyday<\/figure>\n

          I carefully slid the bread on to the covered Emile Henry cloche and baked it with the lid for 28 minutes (let me real, it was half an hour!) and without the lid for another 15.<\/p>\n

          \"everyday<\/figure>\n

          Once it was baked I removed it and put it on a cooling tray for about half an hour before tasting it.\u00a0 It was worth the wait and made for a delicious breakfast this morning!<\/p>\n

          Everyday Sourdough Bread Recipe<\/h2>\n

          Starter<\/strong> build<\/strong>
          100g whole wheat
          100ml water<\/p>\n

          Dough<\/strong>
          150g whole wheat
          300g AP flour
          275ml water
          14g salt
          3g diastatic malt powder<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Take all of the ingredients minus the salt and malt powder and combine.<\/li>\n
          • Cover and let autolyse for 45 minutes.<\/li>\n
          • Knead in the mixer or by hand until well developed.\u00a0 This was about 10 minutes in the mixer at first speed (the one past the \u2018mix\u2019 speed).<\/li>\n
          • Cover and begin bulk fermentation.\n
              \n
            • Do 3 stretch and folds at 45 minute intervals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • Cover and put in the fridge overnight or bulk ferment at room temperature for another 2-3 hours.<\/li>\n
            • Place on to a slightly floured surface and pre-shape.\n
                \n
              • Cover with a clean towel and bench rest for half hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
              • Shape and place in a proofing basket for 2-3 hours or overnight in the fridge.<\/li>\n
              • Remove from the fridge and pre-heat the oven at 450\u02daF for 45 minutes with your baking vessel in place.<\/li>\n
              • Flip bread on to parchment paper, score, and carefully load in the oven.<\/li>\n
              • Bake with the lid on for half an hour and with the lid off for another 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
