Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Sourdough start
  • 2 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup sorghum or honey
  • 6 cup freshly milled whole wheat flour I use the Nutrimill to mill grain from Wheat Montana. See below for link
  • 1 cup unbleached flour

Instructions

  • Mix the start, water, molasses, sorghum, and salt. Add in the flour. Mix until flour is wet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes. Then continue to knead in a mixer (I use a Bosch, see below for a link ) until the sides are clean. It shouldn't stick to your fingers but is kind of tacky. Knead for 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl where it can double in size. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 6-12 hours depending on temp.
  • Divide dough into two. Roll out dough and fold like an envelope. Again, roll into a rectangle and start rolling dough from one end. Tuck in the sides and place into a greased bread pan ( see below for a link to a cast iron pan). Cover with a damp towel and let rise until double in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Take out of the pan and let cool on a towel-covered rack.
