WHOLE GRAIN SOURDOUGH RUSTIC COUNTRY LOAF
This loaf of 100% whole grain, sourdough leavened bread is the perfect "daily driver" for me; it's exactly what I want to experience when I make some toast or a hearty sandwich. Sliced and buttered (un-toasted), it also makes a magnificent complement to a meal of soup or pasta.

Steps:
- Combine salt with flour in a mixing bowl, then add water and mix either by hand or with a dough whisk until fully incorporated into a "shaggy mass."
- Add starter and mix / squish by hand until fully incorporated. The process of incorporating the starter is a bit of primary kneading and should result in the dough smoothing out some, but don't go nuts. As soon as the starter is fully incorporated, you're done.
- Cover mixing bowl and let sit.
- First Bulk Fermentation Period
- The first (of three) bulk fermentation period is at room temperature which for me is 73 - 75 degrees F, and lasts about 10 hours.
- At about an hour in, do 5-10 minutes of hand kneading (see notes and video below) until the dough develops some strength and elasticity and becomes noticeably smoother. Cover and let sit.
- Every 1-2 hours (exact timing is not important - really!) do a short round of stretching and folding to re-develop the dough's elasticity (see notes and video below). Then re-cover and let sit.
- Second Bulk Fermentation Period
- After about 10 hours, or whenever the dough has risen to about 1.5 times its original volume, put the covered bowl of dough into a cold (~40 F) refrigerator and let sit (for me, this is overnight) for about 10 hours.
- Third Bulk Fermentation Period
- Remove dough from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature again.
- As the dough warms up, resume periodic stretch and folds. Dough should be feeling progressively more lively, developing a bit of sour aroma, and eventually starting to bubble some.
- This final bulk fermentation period is the hardest to put a time length on. Getting it right matters, and it will totally depend on how active your starter is, how warm your kitchen is, and a whole host of other mostly invisible things. You are shooting to finish this period when the dough has risen to 2 - 2.5 times its original volume and ideally is actively blowing a few bubbles. I've had this take anywhere from 4 - 8 hours depending on this and that. Your mileage may vary. Try not to overshoot this - you'll probably have a better result erring on the too soon side than the too late side.
- Shaping and Proofing
- (See notes and video below)
- Prepare a lined proofing basket by generously flouring the inside and set it aside.
- Lightly flour a large work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Wet your hands, punch down the dough and then stretch and flatten it into a large thin rectangle.
- Fold dough in half from top to bottom and press top into bottom, flattening again but not as big as the initial rectangle. At this point, you want the height of the dough rectangle to be right about the length of your proofing basket (no more than that).
- [Optional] Lightly flour the top of the dough (and your hands).
- Start at one end and roll the dough rectangle into a cylinder.
- Keep track of the seam and transfer the dough cylinder into the lined, floured proofing basket seam-side up.
- Cover and let sit for 1 - 1.5 hours.
- Baking
- From 30 - 60 minutes after transferring dough into proofing basket, pre-heat oven and clay baker to 450 degrees F ~ about 20 - 30 minutes.
- Uncover dough and transfer from proofing basket into base of clay baker, score top of dough, cover and bake at 450 F for 25 minutes.
- Uncover clay baker, reduce oven temperature to 400 F and bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes (or until desired crust color develops).
- Remove bread and place on cooling rack for at least a couple hours before cutting.
