Sourdough Margherita Pizza on the grill
May 08 2011
I think I’ve mastered sourdough
On Thursday I take my starter out of the fridge, stir it up and feed it

On Friday this is what it looks like, I feed it again

On Saturday, this is what it looks like

On Saturday I make the dough and let it rise overnight,
This week I used the following combination
3/4 cup starter
1/4 cup ground barley
1/4 cup semolina flour
1/4 cup rye flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flax meal
about 5-1/2 cups white bread flour
2 1/4 cups water
2 tsp Salt
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs honey
Then on Sunday I bake the dough

More on Sourdough

3/4 cup starter
1/4 cup ground barley
1/2 cup rye flour
about 6 cups white bread flour
2 1/4 cups water
2 tsp Salt
this dough took about 24 hours to rise
then I baked it at 375 for 45min
When I preheated the oven, I preheated the broiler pan in the oven also
then when I put the dough in I added 8 ice cubes, then quickly shut the door
this provides the steam that gives you the chewy crust.

My sourdough bread recipe
This is for 2 loaves
1/2 cup starter
1/4 cup ground flax meal
3/4 cup rye flour
5 1/2 cups white bread flour
2 1/4 cups water
2 tsp Salt
This recipe is based on San Francisco Style Sourdough at sourdoughhome.com
I like to use more starter than you will see on sourdoughhome.com, I think that this gives the dough a better flavor.
Mix everything and knead for about 15-20 minutes, at least until the dough passes the window pane test, rest for 1/2 hour, then form into loaves and set aside to rise.
The 2 loaves in this post rose for 21 hours, until I got them to a decent size, they were then baked at 375 for 45 minutes.
To steam the loaves, I preheated the oven with a broiler pan on the lowest rack, then I placed the loaves on the middle rack and dropped about 8 ice cubes onto the broiler pan and quickly shut the oven door, then after 10 minutes I took out the broiler pan.
