Hi Christine, I would love to try out this recipe as it looks pretty easy as sourdough makes great rustic sandwiches. May I ask where you get your flours from?
Hi Jo, I don’t get my flours from any specialty store. My bread flours are all from the baking store. =) I do have access to Gold Medal flour, but that’s about all the better flours I have.
Looks like you’re going to strangle someone! (if you find out who threw it away)
Well no one’s admitting it. Boo.
hi christine! you’re an amazing baker and i really admire you for that! that sourdough looks gorgeous cant get any prettier than that! nice bubble pockets and lovely rustic looking crust! wish i could bake like you haha. i really love your blog, would you mind linking blogs with me? cinnamonsin.wordpress.com
Great looking bread! Very holey and inviting. Sorry about the demise of your starter. Dry a small amount out next time or keep a piece frozen in the freezer, replacing it on occasion.
If I keep a piece in the freezer, how do I use it? I just take it out to let it warm up and then use it?

Espero que te guste!
Quick question – step 7 says “bake for 12-14 mins” – isn’t this a bit quick? Most of my breads bake for around 40mins?
thk
Do they? I preheat the oven to 260C and then drop the heat down to 250C once the loaves are in. Mine are all done usually by 12 minutes. But that depends on how large you shape your loaves as well. Or perhaps your oven temperature isn’t what the display reads it to be?
Thanks Christine! Yes I preheat at 250 but turn down to 220 then 200 for baking
I’ll give this a try – much appreciated!
cheers
Sali
(and sympathy re your old dough!)
I just saw this on YeastSpotter and had to come check it out. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I need to try sourdough at home. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m sorry about your starter!
Hey Lauren! Thanks for popping by. =) And aye, I’ve got another one growing in the fridge already. Not quite the same, but still better than nothing!
In the recipe, what is ‘Bread Flour’? White Flour? It seems a very low percentage of wholemeal.
Bread flour is high protein flour. It’s a type of white flour, yes. My family prefers bread that isn’t too dense, and adding too much wholemeal will result in that so I balance it with bread flour. You could increase the wholemeal content, but that would require a change in water content etc. Play around!
