Potato Flake Sourdough Bread Loaf

Written By Pam Fields

Now that you have an active starter, it’s time to make bread!

Ingredients needed:

6 cups of bread flour

1 cup of potato flake sourdough starter

½ cup of vegetable oil

1 Tablespoon of salt

½ cup of sugar

1 ½ cups of warm water

Instructions:

  1. Give your starter a stir before measuring it out.

  2. Add all of your dry ingredients to bowl and stir well. Add the liquid ingredients. Mix by hand with a wooden spoon, stand mixer or a Danish spatula.

  3. Form into a shaggy looking dough, form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, bowl cover or tea towel.

  4. Allow it to double in size. This will take anywhere from 6-10 hours. Time depends on the temperature of your home and strength of your starter.

  5. After it has doubled in size, punch down the dough.

  6. Divide into 3 parts and shape into loaves. Place into 3 greased loaf pans and cover with tea towel or plastic wrap.

  7. Allow dough to rise until doubled.

  8. When dough has doubled, usually 2-4 hours, Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove covering and bake for 30-40 minutes. Usually 35 minutes but depends on individual ovens. You may cover with foil if the bread is getting to dark but it’s not completely baked.

  9. If you use a pan with lid, it will take the full 40 minutes.

  10. Allow to cool before cutting so that middle will not be doughy.

  11. This is a softer bread than the traditional artisan sourdough.
