1/2 cups starter

3 1/2 cups plus...good bread flour
2 tsp. salt
Recipe
Mix 1/4 cup warm water, and 1 tsp. yeast and let
it set until it starts to foam...like 5-8 mins.
Mix 1 cup water with 1 1/2 cups starter then add
1-2 tablespoons honey, depends on your taste, I
love it so I add at least 2 tablespoons.
Once it's mixed up add about 3 1/2 bread flour
(I use King Arthur's Bread flour) and 2 tsp. salt.
The dough is sticky, don't add to much flour, at
this point I transfer it to my counter and knead
more flour in so it's not too wet, about 5 mins.
I then let it rest for about 15-20 mins. covered.
After is rests I knead it again until it's smooth,
maybe another 5 mins. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer
with dough hook, it stops me from adding to much
flour and it's easier! LOL
Shape it into a ball, place in an oiled bowl and
let rise about 45 mins.
If I'm going to refrigerate it, it now goes into
the fridge over night, if I'm going to bake it,
then it needs to rise until double.
The next morning remove it and let it warm up for
a couple of hours before turning out and forming.
Gently turn out onto a floured surface and shape
into long loaves or round loaves.
One thing I learned is NOT to over handle the dough
when shaping it.
Treat it gently, you don't want to take all the rise
out of it.
I place mine on a peel or parchment paper dusted with
white rice flour. I like the rice flour because the
dough just slides right off my peel no sticking!
Once it rises to double...I score the tops and place
it on my preheated baking stone in a 450 degree oven
until it's nice and golden brown.
Cool on wire rack.
