There has been a bit of interest in this bread as a sourdough. So I have made this recipe which incorporates sour starter in place of baker's yeast. 

Enjoy and please share your results! I haven't had a chance to do this yet.

 

Thanks, Adam

This weekend I tried your sourdough version of this bread.  It created delicious bread!  Although, in my bread, I used a whole wheat starter and 190 g. of a "white" whole wheat and then the balance of the AP white flour.

 

I mixed everything in a bowl by hand.  When it came together, I let it rest for about 5 minutes.  Then I did the standard streach and fold for about 3 - 5 min.  Formed it into a ball and let it rise in a clean bowl for about 6 hours or so - it was about doubled in size.  I turned it out of the bowl and shaped it into a batard and stuck it in the fridge overnight. 

 

The next day, I pulled it out of the fridge for a couple of hours.  Then I baked it on a pizza stone in my over as the above baking directions suggest.

 

Good stuff!  i will do it again. 

 

Thanks!

 To be honest, I haven't tried this at home since I made the sourdough version. I did make it at work once and I think it was left out at room temp too long before overnight fermentation. It was very sour.

 HI

 

enthusiastically tried this one, but have to say that the dough was quite stiff and it appeared to need more starter to get the rise required.

 

having said that it got eaten!
