California Farm Soft Crust and Hard Crust Sourdough Bread

Water, flour, sourdough starter and a pinch of salt, the classic way to bake bread. We bake four french rolls of sourdough bread a week, either white sourdough bread or wheat sourdough bread.
I make the dough and replace the sour dough starter Sundays. Depending on the time of year, it takes the dough a few hours or overnight to rise, I bake the bread when dough is ready on Monday morning for breakfast. Eat half a roll, freeze the rest.

California Farm San Francisco Sourdough Bread California Farm San Francisco Sourdough Bread
We don’t buy yeast, we throw flour in the air over a large bowl and catch airborne natural yeast in the kitchen, honestly. I learned this from Tartine’s Bakery in San Francisco. I also replaced my front lawn with 60’x20’ rows of red winter wheat and rows of fava beans. With winter rains, we expect 60 to 90 lbs. of wheat come summer.Once you have this sour dough starter, you use a cup and add a cup every time you bake. I keep the same sour dough starter for white bread. For wheatbread, I add wheat flour and keep a second starter. I add dark rye flour to the wheat starter for dark rye bread.Overnight dough, fresh warm crusty San Francisco bread in an hour in the morning. Hobby Horseman -
Sourdough Bread Sourdough Bread
This is a recipe from King Arthur Flour. It comes with the sourdough starter that can be ordered from them as well as finding it online in their website. It is a very good base recipe for making sourdough breads.Maintaining a proper sourdough starter is definitely a commitment. If you keep starter out at room temperature you will have to feed it every day. If you keep it refrigerated like I do, you will only have to feed it once a week to maintain it however you have to remove from fridge and feed it at least 8 to 12 hours before you want to make bread with it. And with both ways; always feed after use.Making a starter from scratch takes a lot of time before you can use for first time. I suggest getting a few ounces of a established starter from someone who has one already or order it from King Arthur Flour.Sourdoughs have different flavors depending on where you live. The sourdough bread I make in New York will taste different than a sourdough made in San Francisco. chris.zurhorst -
California 100% Whole Grain Sourdough Bread California 100% Whole Grain Sourdough Bread
I work with wheat a lot and bake and cook often. However, there was something that scared me about making 100% whole grain sourdough bread. Whole grain flours are different, because they love water and recipes need more water. At the end, you do end up working with dough that is more wet than your normal flours. I have tried this recipe and I lost that fear. I encourage you to try it. Don't aim for perfection, but rather, aim to learn and to enjoy the process, and have fun. Claudia Carter -
