Overnight Sourdough Bread Recipe

Learn how to make delicious overnight sourdough bread at home that’s perfect for beginners and that your family will love.

INGREDIENTS

– bubbly starter – purified water or filtered water at room temperature – bread flour, organic – sea salt, fine

STEP 1

Squelch all of the ingredients together briefly (just for a minute is enough) with your hand. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

STEP 2

Stretch and fold the dough into the bowl several times for about a minute.  Cover and leave it out on the counter overnight, 6 to 8 hours.

STEP 3

Pre-heat the oven to 240/250C (I preheat to 475°F) and place your lidded pot inside to heat up.  You can use an enamel dutch oven or aluminum roaster.

STEP 4

Dust your counter with flour.  I use a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and then dusted with rice flour.  It makes it easy to pick up the dough.

STEP 5

Pull the outside thirds into the middle and shape as you wish. Try to pull the outside of the dough as tightly as possible so it will hold its shape well.
