Description

This sourdough bread recipe is easy to make with sourdough starter; the dough rises overnight, then is baked in the morning for a delicious start to the day.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1/2 cup corn oil
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 6 cups bread flour

Directions

1 Mix water, sourdough starter, oil, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Sift flour and add to the mixture. Grease or oil dough and place in an oiled bowl; cover and let rise overnight.
2 The next day, grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. Knead dough for 10 minutes; divide in half and place into prepared pans. Allow dough to double in size.
3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Bake loaves in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Carefully tip loaves out of pan onto a work surface and gently tap the bottom of loaf. If it sounds hollow, bread is done.

Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot)

🍽️ 20 servings 📊 20 servings ⏱️ 300 min

Here is a great recipe for authentic German Sourdough Bread. This bread tastes almost exactly like the bread we buy back home in Bavaria, Germany. There, to this day, they bake their bread in a very old stone oven in the middle of a small village, once every 2 weeks. They bake a whole bunch at once, and then you can buy it and freeze extras until the next baking day. It's the best German bread I know!
