Ingredients

  • 650 g Wholemeal flour
  • 15 g Salt
  • 50 g Sourdough starter
  • 650 g Water

Optional

  • 60 g Mixed seeds

Instructions

  • In a large (ideally see-through) bowl, mix the flour with the salt and seeds, if you’re using them.
  • In a separate container, measure out your water, set it over a scale and add your starter. Mix well.
  • Pour the water into your flour mix and combine well.
  • Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature for 12-16 hours, until the level has visibly risen and you can see bubbles in the dough.
  • When the dough is ready, transfer it to your baking tin and start preheating your oven to 250°C.
  • When the oven reaches its target, move your tin into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is a dark golden color. If you have a tin with a lid, remove it around the 35-40 minute mark and bake lid-free for the remaining 10 or so minutes.
  • Tip the bread out of the tin and let cool.
