Beginner Sourdough with Plain Flour | No Bread Flour Needed

Beginner sourdough made with plain flour, no bread flour or strong flour needed. This is an easy, low-faff loaf for anyone starting out with a sourdough starter and ordinary supermarket flour. I use a half-and-half blend of plain flour and T55, a French flour that is actually similar in strength to UK plain flour (both sit around 10% protein here), so this is not a high-protein bread flour bake. If you have not got T55, plain flour on its own works perfectly well. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know how yours turns out in the comments. Recipe 195 g water 150 g plain flour (all-purpose flour), 9.9% protein 150 g T55 flour, 9.5% protein (or use plain flour instead) 60 g active sourdough starter(100% hydration) 6 g salt Baking Instructions With Steam: Bake at 250°C for 18 minutes with steam. Remove the steam and bake at 230°C for another 20 minutes. Dutch Oven: Bake at 250°C with the lid on for 18 minutes. Remove the lid and bake at 230°C for another 20 minutes. Note: Every oven is different, so you may need to adjust the baking time and temperature to suit your oven. Enjoyed this video? Subscribe, hit the thumbs up, and comment below—I’d love your thoughts!
