Beginner's Sourdough Bread Recipe
I made my first sourdough loaf over 6 years ago, and I haven’t stopped baking. In this post, I’ll coach you through the basic steps and leave you with my favorite recipe. Then you can make your way to whole grain recipes, like my delicious rye sourdough and spelt sourdough recipes.
This basic sourdough recipe is made from mostly bread flour, with just a small amount of whole wheat or whole grain flour to give it some additional flavor and color. This amount is super versatile depending on what flours you have in your pantry. I like to use einkhorn, spelt, red fife, or khorasan.
First things first, you’re going to need an active sourdough starter. I suggest asking a friend who has lovingly fed and maintained their starter or purchasing mine so you can get baking right away instead of spending several weeks getting your started. You’ll be able to use to make sourdough english muffins, sourdough cinnamon rolls, and lots of sourdough discard recipes!

It’s essential for your starter to be healthy and active, so that is has the ability to make your dough rise. If your sourdough has been in the refrigerator, take it out 2 days before you plan to bake and begin feeding it again.
The answer to this question comes from both experience and observing the starter behave, to understand how it reacts to feeding/not feeding, and temperature.

A. It will have at least doubled in size. This will take place over 4-6 hours if the temperature in your house is around 70 degrees. If it’s cooler in your house, it will take a bit longer. I put a rubberband around the jar, to mark the spot it’s at right after feeding. Then, as time passes, you’ll be able to keep track of how much it’s rising.
B. You will see bubbles throughout the sides of the jar, and on top. The top will be a bit poofy and domed.
C. The float test is very helpful! When you think your starter is at it’s peak, take a jar and fill with water. Then take a teaspoon of starter – you don’t need a lot – and place it on top of the water. It it floats, you’re ready to bake! If not, you’ll need to wait or go through another feeding.

With the final rise, how do I know when my dough has risen properly and can be scored and into the oven for baking?
There’s an easy test for this stage too, using a fingerprint. Gently press a floured thumb into your risen dough. You don’t need to press down further than 3/4 inch.
If it indents and gradually releases, but still holds a finger shape, you’re ready. If your fingerprint jumps right back up to flat, it needs more time to rise. If your fingerprint indents and doesn’t bounce back at, it is overproofed. That’s okay, just get it in the oven! It will still taste delicious, it will just not rise as well while baking

Easy Rustic Sourdough Bread Recipe With Sourdough Starter
I like to use a small ratio of sourdough starter with water and flour when feeding so that it will rise slowly over several hours.
Feed the starter right before bed and mix the dough first thing in the morning for freshly baked bread that evening. Or, feed the starter in the morning, mix the dough before bed and then bake it in the morning. It's so easy to fit this recipe into your schedule!
Whichever time you choose, 12 hours before you make the dough, mix 10 grams of unfed starter, 25 grams of flour and 25 grams of water into a clean jar, cover it loosely and let it rise at room temperature.

In my 68° F (20°C) kitchen, this takes about 12 hours. In cooler kitchens it will take longer to ferment and in warmer kitchens it will take less time.
. Drop a small amount of the starter into a glass of water. If it floats, it's ready to bake with. If it sinks to the bottom, give it a few more feedings and try again!

If you are working with a new sourdough starter, it can take multiple feedings to build the strength it needs in order to bake with.
We recommend using organic flour if possible because it is free from bleach, bromate and glyshophate, but any type of bread flour available and within your budget is ok to use!
