Scott's Decade Old Bread Recipe

Create the Starter Culture

1/2 cup starter culture: 100g starter in jar feed with water and combo whole wheat or rye

jar should be pressure rated

we fed the starter, and we used the starter roughly 8 hours later to make dough during this time the starter ate the flour and water and got bigger


Mix the Dough

500 gram flour 1 tbsp salt mix slowly, add water slowly knead the dough roll into a ball drizzle some olive oil cover with press and seal, cover with towel

do this roughly at the time you feed the starter


Punch the Dough

Bread bowl on the scale 240g of starter measured out

splash of olive oil

knead and punch until looks like a kidney

splash olive oil and spread over dough

let sit covered for 30 minutes


Turn and fold the Dough 4 Times

Stretch vertically like taffy, fold over, turn 90 degrees

finish all turns, then let sit covered for 30 minutes


Brain-form the dough

Put dough into a brain-form bowl, cover, leave in fridge overnight
