Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Extra olive oil and sea salt, for topping
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and sea salt. Stir until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of the loaf with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
