Polish Sourdough

I do my cooking in a Dutch oven, it makes the bread really nice and crunchy on the outside, and fluffy and soft on the inside. Got this from my buddy K. A. Miernik.

  • 4.5 hours
  • 1.5-2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 c Unbleached white flour
  • 3 c any other kind (rye, wheat, white, etc.)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 c purified water (tap water can kill the starter)
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 c Polish Sourdough Starter (or any other starter)
  • 1 c Things: flax seed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, bran, rolled oats, etc

Directions

  1. Mix the flour into a large mixing bowl, with the salt.
  2. Warm water and honey in a sauce pan to 110-115 degrees F
  3. Add the sourdough starter to the flour, then add the water and honey mixture.
  4. Mix thoroughly
  5. Remove 1 c of the dough to a separate container, to make the next starter.
  6. Add Things to main dough, and mix well.
  7. Put main dough into loaf pan.
  8. Let both proof for 4 hours.
  9. Put starter back in fridge, and let the main dough rise for another 4 hours (or until it reaches edge of loaf pan).
  10. Bake bread @ 350 degrees F for 1.5-2 h.
