Sour Dough Bread
Sour Dough Bread
This bread is delicious and I have made about eight loaves since being given the recipe two weeks ago:
Mix together:
220 ml warm water (not hot, not cold)
1/2 cup yoghurt (I use Bio farm Organic Bush Honey Yoghurt)
2 tsp lemon juice
Place in bread maker pan
Then add:
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
4 cups Flour (try to use high grade flour as it has a high protein content)
3 tsp Yeast + bread improver (I have a jar of yeast mixture that is combined with bread improver, if you have separate products use 1 tsp bread improver, 2 tsp yeast)
Put the pan in the bread maker and set to dough setting. I normally do this a night and set the dough to be ready an hour after I wake. The idea as that the dough has time to rise a bit extra.
Turn the oven on to 180 degrees centigrade with fan. Empty out the dough onto floured bench and cut into two loaves. Place on floured or lined baking tray. If it is a sunny morning, cover with a tea towel and put in the sun whilst the over is warming to the correct temperature. Bake for 15 minutes.
