Whole Wheat Loaf Bread with Sourdough

Today I made whole wheat loaf bread with sourdough, it’s perfect for breakfast. I really like it toasted with butter and jam. I used Homemade Sourdough but you can easily use yeast. The dough for whole wheat loaf bread with sourdough is also suitable for buns, baguettes, or even classic round bread. I used a stand mixer for the dough, but you can knead it by hand as well; the preparation is quite easy.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5.3 oz sourdough
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • as needed mixed seeds

Tools

  • Stand Mixer
  • Loaf Pan
  • Rolling Pin wooden
  • Wooden Board wooden

Steps

  • Dissolve the sourdough in the water. Use the flat beater at this stage.

  • Add the flours and salt. Knead for at least 10 minutes. Use the dough hook at this stage.

  • Finally, add the oil and let it blend into the dough.

  • Once the dough has absorbed the oil, let it rise until doubled inside the turned-off oven.

  • Then I rolled it out on the wooden board with the rolling pin until I formed a thin rectangle, about 0.8 inches thick.

  • I rolled it up from the narrow side.

  • And I transferred it to the oiled loaf pan. I brushed the surface with some water and added the seeds. Then I covered it with plastic wrap.

  • I let it rise until the dough reached the edge of the pan and baked at 392°F for about 50 minutes.

  • Once cooked, I let it cool on a rack.

It stays soft for a few days if stored in a freezer bag.
