First time making sourdough sandwich bread!


I followed the recipe from The Clever Carrot:

Ingredients:
500 g (4 cups) all purpose flour (I used bread flour)
60 g (4 tbsp.) unsalted butter, softened, cut into cubes
12 g (1 tbsp.) sugar
9 g fine sea salt
50 g (1/4 cup) bubbly, active sourdough starter (I used unfed starter because I was lazy)
270 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) warm water

I mixed the dough, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then hand kneaded it for 10 minutes. Let rise overnight. Shaped the dough the next morning by gently flattening it and pressing out air bubbles. Rolled it into a loaf, put into a buttered bread tin, and let rise again. I waited until the loaf had risen to one inch above the tin, which took longer than I thought! Probably ~5 hours. Then baked at 375 for 45 minutes!

Overall I think it was easier to make than a regular sourdough loaf because the dough is much less sticky and there was less hands on time. The bread came out like normal bread, which I’m shocked by! I’m so excited and will definitely be doing this more

    Yes, this is a good recipe, you can also use a stand mixer which makes it a winner for me.
