When the leaven has risen, make the dough for a loaf of sourdough bread:
- Measure into a large mixing bowl:
- 330 gm 80° F water
- Add the leaven to the water. Use a spatula to scape all leaven from its bowl into the mixing bowl with water.
- Add flours. Pour the mixed and warmed flours from the plastic container into the mixing bowl. Set the plastic container aside. Do not wash it; the dough can be added to it with whatever flour clings to the sides.
- Stir to mix. Using a spatula, try to moisten all the flours. Mix in as much of the flour as you can before the dough gets too stiff to work with. Excess flour will be stuck to the sides of the bowl.
- Use the dough scraper to scrape flour from the sides of the bowl and then cut the flour into the dough.
After all ingredients have been added to the bowl, it takes me about 10 to 15 minutes of stirring, scraping, and cutting before they are fully mixed into the dough.
- Cover the dough.
