Thanks to our sourdough starter set, the bread is not only nutritious but also incredibly easy to prepare. With a handful of high-quality ingredients and a little patience, you can bake a fresh, crispy bread that goes perfectly with any meal. Here you will find the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for your new favorite bread:

Ingredients :

• 500 g wholemeal flour (rye)
• 150 g active sourdough starter easily with our Starter Set
• 350 ml of lukewarm water
• 10 g salt
• 50 g mixed nuts (e.g. walnuts, hazelnuts)
• 30 g seeds (e.g. sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Activation of the sourdough starter:

Preparation :

• Mix the wheat sourdough starter with 100 g wheat flour and 100 ml lukewarm water in the Mason Jar from your set
• Close the jar with the lid and fasten the rubber band around it
• Let it ferment at room temperature (ideally around 25°C) for about 48 hours. Use the thermometer sticker to monitor the temperature
• After 48 hours, the sourdough should be active, and when the starter bubbles vigorously, it is ideal for further processing

Prepare the dough:

• In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter with the lukewarm water until the starter has dissolved
• Add the wholemeal flour and optionally the honey and mix well until a sticky dough is formed
• Let the dough rest for 30 minutes so that the flour can absorb the water
• Add salt and nuts:
• Add the salt to the dough and work it in well
• Add the chopped nuts and seeds and work into the dough
• Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is elastic and smooth
• Let the dough rest:
• Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 3-4 hours until it has increased in size significantly
• During this time, stretch and fold the dough every 30-60 minutes to strengthen the structure
• Form the dough:
• After rising, place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and form into a ball
• Place the formed dough in a well-floured proving basket or bowl and cover again
• Let the dough rise for another 2 hours until it has risen
• Bake:
• Preheat the oven to 240°C and heat a cast iron roasting pan or a heavy pot in the oven
• Carefully pour the dough into the hot pot, put the lid on and bake for 20 minutes
• Remove the lid and bake the bread for another 20-25 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom
• Cool down and enjoy:
• Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool completely on a rack before slicing
