Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1½ teaspoons sugar or honey
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
- 4–5 cloves roasted garlic (mashed)
Instructions
- Ensure your sourdough starter is fed and bubbly.
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine bread flour, salt, sugar, Italian herbs, mashed roasted garlic, and olive oil.
- Gradually add warm water and sourdough starter until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth—8–10 minutes in a stand mixer or 10–12 minutes by hand.
- Allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and let it rise again on a parchment-lined baking sheet for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Brush loaf with olive oil and sprinkle with extra roasted garlic and flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
