      Easy Sourdough Boule

      Ingredients

      300g stoneground wholemeal starter
      520g Finest bakers No1 white bread flour
      or
      350g French type 55 & 170g Organic 3 malts & sunflower flour
      220g warm water
      11g salt

      Step 1
      place flour & salt in a bowl and mix in the warm water as much as possible, it’ll be a flaky dry mix a best. Then cover with cling film and leave to rest for an hour.

      Step 2
      Add starter to flour & water mix then bring together & rest for a few minutes. Knead either by hand or for approximately 4 minutes using a mixer & dough hook. Cover with cling film & leave to prove until doubled in size, usually around 4 hours.

      Step 3
      Knock back by giving it a few punches & tip out onto a surface & carry out a few stretch & tucks to leave a tight rounded bag & place in a well duster banneton basket for a second rise for about 2 hours, testing the rise with your finger after an hour so that it only slowly rises back

      Step 4
      Cook in an oven at 240OC for 20 minutes with steam, then 15 minutes at 220 without steam.

      Allow to cool, slice & eat with whatever takes your fancy

      Id like to make this but.......

      It needs a proof read and perhaps a rewrite of step 2 as it makes little sense. Thanks.

      Hi Jonno, Thans for spotting the array of typos, I've corrected these & hopefully it'll make more sense. Hope you enjoy the recipe
