Basic Sourdough Bread

Basic Sourdough Bread

Overview

The first sourdough bread from "The Apprentice Baker". The ingredients are as simple as steamed buns, flour, salt, and water. First use the foaming starter to make the solid starter, and then use the solid starter to make the dough. The fat, white dough is also reminiscent of giant steamed buns. Among several recommended shaping methods, the torpedo shape was chosen. It's easier to just make two cuts when you grow up. It's such a big, white shuttle. I was reluctant to cut deeply, but when I baked it, I found that the edge of the knife was still too shallow and did not make a big opening. But the color is so attractive. Thick and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, chewy and delicious. . . .
