Sourdough Sandwich Loaf Bread Recipe
This recipe is an easy Sourdough Sandwich Bread recipe that tastes great, holds up well and it’s real easy to make. Using your sourdough starter and few ingredients you’ll mix up the night before, allow to ferment and rise during the night and bake in the morning. If your finding it’s rising to quickly you can also make in the morning and bake in the evening. You could use lard in replace of the butter and honey instead of sugar. Thank you Melissa K Norris for the original recipe.
Makes great sandwiches, toast and awesome grilled cheese. Pair it with my 15 minute tomato soup and enjoy.
Finding the right consistency of a smooth dough is key! It generally takes 5-7 minutes once the loaf is formed (spinning on the dough hook not sticking to the sides of the bowl) to achieve a smooth dough. I use my Kitchen Aid with the dough hook attachment. I’ve also used my starter at any stage and it all works out great, it just make take different rise times or you’ll have to adjust with an extra tablespoon of water or flour depending on your starters hydration level.

3/4 Cup Water (or milk)
1 Cup Active Starter
2 Teaspoons Sugar (or honey)
2 Teaspoons Salt
1 Tablespoon Melted Butter (or lard)
2 & 3/4 Cups Flour

1. Place water, melted butter, and starter in your mixer
2. Add flour, sugar and salt and using your dough hook turn on low and mix for 5 minutes
3. Once done remove from bowl and form into a log, sandwich shape and place in a greased loaf pan
4. Let rise until doubled
5. Preheat oven to 400 F and melt 1 tablespoon of butter then brush half onto the loaf prior to baking
6. Bake for approx 28 minutes, remove and brush with remaining butter

Notes: I mix and let rise overnight in the oven (not turned on) and bake in the morning. At times when the bread is rising to quickly I will make in the morning and bake at night.
