White enriched bread

Description

The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare the enriched dough not only with yeast but also with homemade wheat sourdough starter, and baked goods made from this dough turn out just as good as classic yeast-enriched pastries. I recommend trying this sourdough-enriched bread recipe, especially if you've never worked with sourdough before—it's much easier to start with this recipe and gradually improve your skills. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the starter. Dilute the starter with room-temperature water and mix well. Add the sifted flour and mix. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it sit for 8 hours at room temperature.

    Step 4

    Place the dough on a floured work surface and shape it into a round. Divide the dough into 2 parts and shape each into a round. Cover one piece of dough with plastic wrap while you work with the other. Roll the dough into a 40 cm long cylinder.

    Roll out one-third of the cylinder with your hands into a thin sheet. Cut this portion of dough into three strips, twist each strip three times, and braid them into a braid. Place the braid on top of the unrolled portion of dough, tuck the end of the braid underneath the dough, and transfer the bread onto parchment paper.
