🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

Sourdough adds depth of flavor and is a natural leavening agent.

Mix flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and oil to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased baking pan.

Let the shaped dough rise for another 30 minutes.

Optionally, score the top of the loaf with a knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
