SUCCESS! I (mostly) followed the recipe in (https:\/\/www.farmhouseonboone.com\/sourdough-sandwich-bread\/<\/a>) and came out with tasty sandwich bread!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made some deviations from the recipe. I had intended to make half, since 8 cups of flour is a lot for my stand mixer. However, I accidentally added the whole amount of water and sourdough starter… so I had to go back and double the butter and rather than fight with the honey jar again, I ultimately went with one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of granular sugar. I decided to use bread flour rather than AP flour as well–and ended up only using 6 cups of flour rather than 8 before I got the dough to start pulling away from the side of the bowl. I also only ended up kneading for about half the time before the window pane method was successful and the dough felt (almost?) right. Sourdough consistency is very weird… I left it to rise and it double in size in about 6 or 7 hours rather than 10 to 12. Once doubled in size, I shaped it and put it into greased loaf pans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second rise took about three hours to double in size and pass the poke test as defined by Living Well With Mandy (https:\/\/www.livingwellwithmandy.com\/post\/4-signs-your-sourdough-has-finished-proofing<\/a>). With the oven set to 375 degrees, the bread was ready in 45 minutes just like the recipe said!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
