Directions
Classic San Francisco Sourdough Bread,I have looked hi and low for a recipe like this. I am so happy to have found it. Perfect slathered in butter or as a sandwich (grilled is great),I think this recipe is very easy for someone who has a little bit of bread baking experience. Very tasty and easy too. I think the next time I am going to make mini round loaves to use for soup bowls like they have at Fisherman’s Wharf! Edit: Recently I made this again and it was too late to bake it so I put it in the refrigerator. Pulled it out in the morning and let it rise and then baked it. It was delicious as usual! Now I can start it whenever I want and refrigerate it if necessary.,Good recipe if you know what you are doing…use a spray bottle for the water/cornstarch mix…works perfectly…my bread comes out great with this recipe but I have a strong old starter..very important. Id put pictures of my beautiful bread up but this site makes you connect to your Facebook account to do so which is nonsense…
