Trying something new… Sourdough Artisan Bread

Chas · October 14, 2013 ·

Oftentimes I feel inadequate. 
Like right now.
I’m a bit worried.
I’m trying something new.
You know how I have made the 5 minute Artisan bread before?
Well, today I mixed up a batch with sourdough starter…
Will, it work?
Stay tuned to find out.
In my mind, I see NO reason why it shouldn’t work just dandy.
But this is a first and I will tell you…
 YES! It worked great.
Or
 NO! It was a big, fat, failure. 
I will give you truth here.
Here’s the ratio I used, figuring I might get 3-4 smallish loaves of bread if this works.
1/2 cup sourdough
4 1/2 cups warm water
9 cups white flour 
1 Tablespoon salt
Mix til just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 12-24 hours. 
I plan on using this just like how I make my Artisan bread.
