Bread 2020

I started baking bread during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Sourdough starter, salt, flour, water

Sourdough starter should have bubbles

120g of sourdough starter

Add four spoons of flour and some water to the starter

I keep the sourdough starter in the fridge at about 4–5°C because I don't bake bread every single day

300g of flour

I like to use various kinds for variety

180ml of water

Mix some more

When it looks like a blob, you're done

Cover with a cloth and wait 2–3h

Knead it just a little bit

Still looks like a ball

Let it rest again for 2–3h

A small cake form and some paper is what I use

use the cake thing because the dough doesn't have enough strength to stay as it is: it turns into a big flat bread

Dump the dough into the thing

Let it rise again, maybe 1–2h

Looks pretty smooth

50min into the steamer

This oven does 180°C with some water down below; if you don't have a steamer, just add water in a heat resistant cup

After 50min you're done!

Looking good!

Oh yeah!

I want to eat this bread every day! ♥
