Floorbaked sour dough bread baked on a hot pizza stone or ceramic tile gets fluffier and has a softer crust than when I bake the same bread in a breadform. Since the stone gets very hot, I use a handmade pizza peel to slide the dough onto the stone, see below.

1

Drizzle sour dough starter in dough mixer, add lukewarm water, mix 2 minutes, add flour, mix 1 minute, add salt, mix 4 minutes, cover with damp towel till dough has doubled in volume, usually overnight.
2

Refill sour dough starter with cup of bread flour and cup of warm water, stir, ferment in jar on kitchen counter till overflowing, usually overnight. Cover with loose lid while fermenting to keep flies out. Store in fridge.

When sour dough has doubled in volume, put oven baking dish with warm water on bottom of oven. Heat ceramic tile or pizza stone in oven on broiler mode to 450F degrees, takes 15 minutes in my oven, then switch to baking mode at 450 F degrees. Flour dust pizza peel, flour dust dough in bowl, turn dough bowl upside down on pizza peel, scrape inside of mixing bowl to transfer dough to pizza peel.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
