Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added) Recipe

If you're not a sourdough baker, what follows may be tedious.

I know the yeasts my starter ("Wild Thing") caught in Texas are not the ones native to the Bay Area, but this bread tastes just as good.

I employed the dough hooks on my recently purchased garage sale old Sunbeam Mixmaster, as the knead time is 10 minutes.

This recipe will make 2 medium loaves or boules, or one giant whatever. The dough after kneading should be moist, but not tacky. It doubled in 3 hours, but when I shaped it, it seemed rather flat. However, 1 1/2 hours later it had doubled, so I heated the oven to 450 F for the first 10 minutes to get a good rise, then cut back to 400 F.

Note: I keep my starter the consistency of thick pancake batter or muffin batter, so if yours is thinner, you'll need more flour.

Fantastic!

      I'm making this now. II followed recipe ie 2 cups of active starter 2 ¼ cups of flour but my dough was to wet and I ended up adding at least another cup of flour before the dough would pull away from the bowl. What did I do wrong?

        Myra, I cooked this receipt last night, and the taste and texture was fantastic, the only problem I have is that the crust was to hard. Did I do something wrong? I put a container of water in the oven while it was baking. Any advise?
