Slightly sweet, but with a delicious sourdough tang as well, this is a delicious way to use up sourdough starter toss-off. Adapted from a recipe found at http://tinyurl.com/4ybakj. I used my starter (whole-wheat and spelt flour) and added Kamut and All-Purpose flours to the dough instead of the Durum she calls for. Read more I also used a touch of honey instead of malt syrup and cut the salt in half. Everything else is the same! Makes 2 loaves, 15 slices per loaf. See less
Ingredients
- ---Pre-Ferment--- shopping list
- 70g unfed whole-wheat sourdough starter shopping list
- 1/2 cup warm water shopping list

How to make it
- Combine pre-ferment ingredients until well-hydrated. Cover and let stand at room temperature two hours - overnight.
- For the dough, whisk together the dry ingredients (except the yeast) in a small bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mix pre-ferment, oil, honey, yeast and water. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Slowly mix in dry ingredients until everything is incorporated. Dough should be soft and smooth.
- Place into an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
- Gently deflate dough and knead briefly.
- Cut in half and shape into two long ropes, curling into "S" shapes. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Re-cover and allow to rise 1 hour longer.

- Bake 10 minutes, misting the oven with water every 3.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400F and bake loaves a further 20-25 minutes, until hollow sounding when tapped.
