INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (~110 degrees)
- 2/3 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1.5 cups bread flour
PREPARATION:
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Add starter, salt, oil, honey and whole wheat flour and mix thoroughly.
- Begin adding bread flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough becomes stiff.
- Knead dough until smooth and elastic. This took about 10 minutes in my stand mixer.
- Place dough in a ball in a greased bowl and let rise until double.
- Deflate dough and reshape into a ball and let rise until double again.
- Deflate dough and roll in a large rectangle, about 8 inches wide.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log, and place in loaf pan.
- Let rise until double in pan and preheat oven to 400.
- Bake ~35 minutes until done.
- ***This can be made as a regular loaf of bread, without the starter. Just leave it out.
- ***This can also be made into a free form loaf without the rolling and loaf pan.
