Sourdough Focaccia is basically a sourdough savory donut –and probably the easiest sourdough bread recipe ever… you mix, wait, pour, wait and bake.  Because it’s such high hydration, it’s difficult to fold, so I barely even try.  And guess, what?  It’s still perfect every time!  How easy is that?!

  • Author: Roselle Blore @howtomakesourdough
  • Prep Time: 4-6hrs for the sourdough starter to come to peak
  • Fermentation Time: 10hr bulk proof + 2-3hr final proof
  • Cook Time: 25 min
  • Total Time: 13hrs
  • Yield: 1 Sourdough Focaccia (9x9 pan) 1x
  • Category: Sourdough Baking
  • Method: Regular Oven Baking

Ingredients

Scale

450g water

75g sourdough starter

500g bread flour

10g salt

Instructions

Step 1 – FEED STARTER:

  • Feed your sourdough starter and use when it’s at peak –basically when it can no longer rise and it starts to crater a little

Step 2 – MIXING:

  • In a bowl, mix ingredients together thoroughly until there are no dry clumps
  • Cover

Step 3 – BULK PROOF:

  • For this particular recipe, our bulk proof (73F) fermentation will be 10hrs long
  • during this time window, do at least 2 coil folding sessions
  • this dough is at 90% hydration, so
  • we are not expecting the dough to take any shape
  • we’re just giving it some dough strengthening

Step 4 – SHAPING:

  • After 10hrs, your sourdough dough should’ve risen 1.5-1.75x its size in your bowl
  • Grease your 9×9 pan (like a brownie pan) with olive oil, as much as your heart desires
  • Pour the dough into your pan
  • Drizzle more olive oil on top
  • Dimple the oil into the dough with the tips of your fingers
  • If you want to add toppings, now’s the time (just dimple them on top of the dough along with the olive oil)

Step 5 – FINAL PROOF

  • Cover your dough and final proof (73F) your dough for max 3hrs

Step 6 – BAKING:

  • Bake for 25-30 min at 450F;
  • enjoy!

Sourdough Bread Recipe: Sourdough Blueberry Bagels

This sourdough bread recipe is one of my favorites!  My FIL requests this every week for breakfast, he loves it so much!  I basically adapted my NYC style sourdough bagel recipe to accommodate all the blueberries I’m stuffing into it.  DELISH!

  • Author: Roselle Blore @howtomakesourdough
  • Prep Time: 4-8hrs for the sourdough starter to be ready
  • Fermentation Time: 5hr bulk proof + 8-18hr cold proof
  • Cook Time: 10min lid on + 10min lid off
  • Total Time: 13-23hrs
  • Yield: 6 bagels 1x
  • Category: Sourdough Baking
  • Method: Dutch Oven or Open Bake

Ingredients

Scale

280g water

10g salt

20g sugar

120g Stiff Sourdough Starter (50% hydration –you can use a normal sourdough starter, but it will make the dough a little difficult to shape.  The stiffer the starter, the stiffer the dough will be)

500g white bread flour

1 cup or more of roughly chopped up FROZEN blueberries (be careful not to chop it up too much)

Instructions

Step 1 – Make a stiff sourdough starter (50% hydration)

  • Take 45g of your original sourdough starter
  • + 50g of bread flour
  • + 25g water
  • =120g of stiff sourdough starter that we need in this recipe

Step 2 – Mix the dough ingredients

  • In a mixer, mix dough ingredients together
  • It’s a really stiff dough, so it will be tough to mix by hand, but doable —just make sure there are no hard clumps
  • Add your roughly cut up frozen blueberries last and mix JUST UNTIL it’s incorporated

Step 3 – Bulk Proof/1st Rise

  • Dump onto your table and roughly knead into a ball,
  • put in a bowl seam side down, cover,
  • rest for 5hrs in a 72F room
  • calibrate your times if your room is colder or warmer, do your best guess.

Step 4 – Shaping

  • Uncover, de-gas (punch down the dough) and divide into 6 pieces.
  • Shape into bagels…

What professionals do:

  • Roll dough into a log. Place one end on top of the other.  With your palm, roll the ends together until they become one.
  • I’ve never had success with this (maybe because I’m too much of a novice), I always end up with misshapen bagels

The bagel shaping method I’ve had the most success with:

  • The snake eating its own tail method
  • Rolling dough into a log. 
  • Flatten one end of the log. 
  • Then roll the opposite end of the log little smaller. 
  • Take the flat end and wrap it around the other end (like a snake eating its own tail)
  •  Pinch the seams.
  • Put bagels on a tray that’s been dusted with cornmeal —this will prevent sticking.

Step 5 – Cold Proofing/2nd Rise

  • Cover entire tray with a plastic bag
  • put in your fridge for cold proofing,
  • min 8hrs, max 18hrs.

Step 6 – Boiling the dough

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with convection or 500°F (260°C) without convection.
  • Boil water in a WIDE pot. Add 2 Tbsp of molasses. Not too much.
  • Put cooling tray next to the pot because you will be placing the bagels immediately there after boiling.
  • Take bagels out of the fridge and boil each side of 1 bagel for 30 sec.
  • Place on a cooling tray
  • Gently transfer the bagels onto your Dutch oven lined with parchment paper

Step 7 – Baking

  • Bagels are best baked in 2 parts
  • The first part with steam, the second part without to develop the crust.
  • The steam helps the dough thoroughly bake before the crust burns.
  • You can use your Dutch oven to bake your bagels OR use the open bake method.
  • Bake with DO (lid on) at 500F for 10 min.
  • Then turn down your oven to 450F, bake with lid off for 10 min.
  • Put bagels on a cooling rack for 20ish min.  Enjoy.

I haven’t bought sandwich bread in over 7 years because of this sourdough bread recipe!  It’s such a staple in my house because even though I make sourdough bread (artisan loaves) everyday, my kids really prefer sourdough sandwich bread.  They love it so much, they even eat the crust!

  5. Shaping – 5 min
    1. Option 1 – normal 1 log

      • Then simply roll it up into a log
      • Pinch the seam a little
      • Place the log into a parchment lined or buttered loaf pan
      • Cover lightly so it doesn’t dry out
    2. Option 2 – cute 3 logs
      • Divide the sourdough dough into 3 equal parts
      • Roll the dough flat into a rectangle, they should be the width of the pan
      • Roll each dough into a short logs
      • Pinch the seam a little
      • Place the short logs into a parchment lined or buttered loaf pan
      • Cover lightly so it doesn’t dry out

  7. Bake – 40-45 min
    • Bake at at 375F for 45 min (start checking on it around 40 min) or until golden on top

Notes

  1. Swapping ingredients?
    • swap butter for coconut oil
  2. Crust too dull or pale?
    • Egg wash the dough before baking
  3. Conversions
    • 1 stick of butter = 113g
  4. Crust too hard and looks burnt?
    • Brush the top of the bread with milk to soften the top
  5. Too sour?
    • use a sweet stiff sourdough starter instead

No reviews

  • Author: Roselle Blore @howtomakesourdough
  • Prep Time: 4-6hrs for the sourdough starter to come to peak
  • Fermentation Time: 2hr room temp proof + 8hr cold proof + 2hr final proof
  • Cook Time: 20 min
  • Total Time: 18hrs 20min
  • Yield: 4 LARGE hoagies or 6 MEDIUM hoagies 1x
  • Category: Sourdough Baking

Ingredients

Scale

500g Bread Flour

125g Sourdough Starter

150g Water

125g Milk

25g Olive Oil

25g Agave Syrup

10g Sea Salt

11g Diastatic Malt Powder (optional)

Instructions

Step 1 – FEED STARTER:

  • Feed your sourdough starter and use when it’s at peak –basically when it can no longer rise and it starts to crater a little

Step 2 – MIXING:

  • In a stand mixer, combine your ingredients together

Step 3 – BULK FERMENTATION/1st RISE:

  • Shape the dough into a taut ball and  let it proof at room temp (70F) for 2hrs

Step 4 – COLD PROOFING/2nd RISE:

  • Then put it in your fridge to cold proof overnight (8hrs)

Step 5 – SHAPING:

  • Take out the cold dough and divide into 4 or 6
  • then shape into tight logs, make sure you pinch the seams

IMPORTANT:

  • If using a Dutch Oven to bake, place EACH dough seam side down on a folded up piece of parchment paper (you will use the parchment paper ends to lift the dough INTO the Dutch Oven
  • If using the Open Bake method, simply line a baking tray with parchment paper and place each dough seam side down there, spaced evenly apart

Step 6 – FINAL PROOFING/3rd RISE:

  • Let that proof at room temp until *nearly* double in size. 
  • Not double, just *almost* double. 
  • Will take 2-4hrs.  Just watch carefully.

Step 7 – SCORING THEN BAKING:

  • Then, preheat your oven at 425F.
  • When your oven is ready, score each hoagie roll with a blade
  • You can slice once all the way down the middle or
  • Slice diagonally in short strokes down the hoagie (like you see in the pics)
  • Bake with steam for 10 min, and then without for 10 min.

If you have a Dutch oven:

  • This means baking in your DO with the lid on for 10 min, and then lid off for 10 min

If no Dutch oven:

  • This means you are using the “open bake method,” which just means you are turning your entire oven into a gigantic Dutch oven
  • This means baking with a steam tray (hot water in a pan) for 10 min and then take that tray out for 10 min.

Notes

  • Brush with egg wash if you want a golden shine.
  • The hoagie will not be sour when you nail down your fermentation.
  • If you want to take extra measures for it to not be sour, consider using a sweet stiff sourdough starter.

This is the RICHEST, most decadent sourdough dough!  It’s ONE sourdough bread recipe that you can use to make so many sourdough sweet breads:

  • sandwich bread
  • hawaiian rolls
  • hot dog buns
  • burger buns
  • challah
  • chocolate babka
  • cinnamon sticky buns
  • donuts
  • I mean, I could go on and on…
  • Author: Roselle Blore @howtomakesourdough
  • Prep Time: 8hrs for the sweet stiff sourdough starter to come to peak
  • Fermentation Time: 4hr room temp proof + 8hr cold proof + 2-4hr final proofing
  • Cook Time: Depends on what you’re making
  • Total Time: 24hrs
  • Yield: Depends on what you’re making
  • Category: Sourdough Bread Baking
  • Method: Normal Oven

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Stiff Sourdough Starter

  • 120g sourdough starter
  • 120g flour
  • 40g water
  • 20g sugar

Sourdough Bread Dough

  • 100g milk
  • 300g sweet stiff sourdough starter
  • 70g sugar
  • 8g salt
  • 3 eggs (165g)
  • 400g high protein flour (can be bread flour or AP flour above 11% protein)
  • 140g unsalted butter
 

Instructions

Step 1 – FEED STARTER/MAKE THE LEVAIN

  • Take 120g of your sourdough starter and feed it 120g bread flour + 40g water + 20g sugar
  • Wait for it to 3x in size –it will be ready when the top stops doming and starts to crater a little

Step 2 – MIXING

  • In your stand mixer, mix ingredients (except the butter) just until you get a windowpane
  • Then add in the butter. Mix until you get a windowpane (mixer at speed 2 for around 10-16 min)
  • Roughly shape the dough into a taut ball and put it in a greased bowl

Step 3 – BULK FERMENTATION/1st RISE

  • Bulk proof for 4hrs at 74F (gauge time if your room is cooler or warmer)
  • You can skip this step and put the dough directly in the fridge, just extend your cold proof or final proof

Step 4 – COLD PROOFING/2nd RISE

  • Degas and cold proof in your fridge overnight (~8-12hrs)

Step 5 – SOURDOUGH SHAPING

  • This is where you have many options
  • sourdough brioche dough is so versatile, you can make any sourdough sweet bread out of this recipe
  • the difference is in the shaping
  • and the shaping dictates how long to bake and how high the temp

For example:

  • Dinner rolls – divide the dough into equal balls and shape into buns
  • Burger buns – divide the dough into larger balls and shape into buns
  • Hot dogs – divide the dough into equal parts and roll tightly into logs, pinch the seam
  • Challah – divide the dough into 3-5 parts, roll into logs, and then braid the dough
  • Donuts – roll the dough into a rectangle, punch out circles with a cookie cutter, final proof and then fry the dough

Step 6 – FINAL PROOFING/3rd RISE

  • After shaping, final proof (room temp) the dough on the vessel it will be baked in
  • Cover lightly because we don’t want it to dry out
  • Final proof this for 4-6hrs at room temp (74F),

Step 7 – SOURDOUGH BAKING

  • Time to bake when it’s risen and jiggly, *almost* doubled in size
  • Egg-wash and bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 20-35 min (meaning, check on it every 5-10 min at the 20 min mark)
  • Like I said above, baking times will depend on your shaping,
  • the bigger the baking vessel, the longer it will take to bake (like a loaf pan)
  • the bigger the shaping of the dough, the longer it will take to bake (like challah, sandwich bread, babka, etc.)
  • the shorter and wider the baking vessel, the shorter it will take to bake (like a sheet pan)
  • the smaller the shaping of the dough, the shorter it will take to bake (small dinner rolls, crescent rolls, etc.)
  • you as the baker will have to gauge how long to bake by checking on the oven around the 20 min mark
  • depending on what you are making, baking times vary between 20 min to 50 min –it just depends on what you are baking

  • Final proof this for 4-6hrs at room temp (74F),

Step 7 – SOURDOUGH BAKING

  • Time to bake when it’s risen and jiggly, *almost* doubled in size
  • Egg-wash and bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 20-35 min (meaning, check on it every 5-10 min at the 20 min mark)
