Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 15 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 16 hours

for 2 loaves of bread with a length of 25 cm

Prepare the sourdough the night before by mixing the specified ingredients together. Cover the sourdough and let it rest overnight. On the day of baking, take 50 g of the sourdough as a starter for the next baking day and use the remaining sourdough for the bread. To do this, knead the sourdough with the ingredients for the main dough until a homogeneous dough forms. Let the dough rest briefly, then knead using the “stretch and fold” method and form two long strands the size of the loaf pans. Lightly grease the loaf pans, place the strands in the loaf pans, and cover and let rise for 2-3 hours. Preheat the oven to 230°C. Pierce the loaves several times with a skewer or score them with a knife. Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 200°C and bake the loaves for about 30-40 minutes.
