Ingredients
Scale
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup bubbly active sourdough starter
1 1 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
In a large bowl combine 1 cup water, starter, and honey. Mix to combine.
Add in flour and salt. Mix to combine and knead dough for about 5 minutes. If dough is too dry add up to an additional 1/2 cup water.
Place back into large mixing bowl, cover, and let rise for 8-10 hours (70F).
After the bulk rise place dough onto the counter and gently shape into a rectangle to roll into a loaf. Place into a loaf pan, cover and let rise for another 2 hours.
Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven and place a tea towel on top. This helps the crust soften up a bit.
