Hi all. Although I enjoy sourdough over the past couple of years I've just taken to making simple but delicious sandwich bread. This is a yeast recipe but if you have starter you can substitute it in (just keep in mind your flour/water measurements).
Night before (or 10-12 hours before bake time)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (this may be optional, I'm just a creature of habit)
Mix dry ingredients, then add the water/honey and mix until just combined. I just use the handle of one of these, for whatever reason they don't get sticky and more or less act like a dough hook
Cover and let rise at least 8 hours room temperature. 8-12 hours is plenty, dough should have expanded at least twice its size
Shape loaf
Bake
I like this recipe because it's quick, easy, and produces damn good sandwich bread. It's not rustic sourdough by any means, but it tastes better than any loaf I'd buy at the store. Sometimes I add a cup of sharp cheddar for cheesy bread, or toss in some raisins or flaxseeds. It's pretty much impossible to mess up.
My usual weekend routine is: Put dough out Friday night, shape in the morning, go grocery shopping. By the time I'm back from the store it's about time to preheat the oven and bake. Done!
