Easiest Same-Day Sourdough in a Loaf Pan (No Dutch Oven, No Fuss!)

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour is more nutritious, while all-purpose flour is often cheaper.

Prepare two loaf pans by inverting one on top of the other to create a makeshift Dutch oven.

Measure 3/4 cup of sourdough starter or discard and add it to a mixing bowl.

Measure 1 and 2/3 cups of room temperature water and pour it into the bowl with the sourdough starter.

Mix the starter and water together until it resembles milky water and is smooth.

Add 5 and 1/3 cups of bread flour to the mixture.

Measure and add 1 tbsp of salt to the flour mixture, avoiding pouring it directly over the other ingredients.

Use a Danish dough whisk or a spurtle to mix the ingredients together until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.

If the dough is too tough to mix by hand, use a stand mixer for about 1-2 minutes to incorporate all ingredients.
