Summary

Sourdough bread is a special and flavorful adventure for bread enthusiasts. This traditional recipe allows you to discover the magic of natural sourdough and create a bread with a deep flavor and aroma. The process of making sourdough bread requires time and patience, but the result is worth it. The foundation of this recipe is an active wheat sourdough starter, which gives the bread its unique character and crispy crust. After mixing the starter, flour, and water, we let it rise until the sourdough doubles in volume. This allows the natural microorganisms to flourish and ferment, giving the bread its distinctive taste. After the first rise, we add salt and knead the dough. The subsequent rise allows for further fermentation and flavor development. After the second rise, we shape the dough into a ball and let it rise for the final time. A hot cast-iron pot and preheated oven provide the perfect baking conditions for the bread. We carefully transfer the dough ball to the hot pot, cover it, and bake. The lid helps retain moisture, resulting in a soft interior. After 30 minutes, we remove the lid to allow the bread crust to brown and become crispy. The finished sourdough bread is aromatic, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. You'll experience the unique flavor and scent of natural sourdough, which enhances every bite. After cooling, you can slice the bread and enjoy its perfection. Baking sourdough bread is not only a culinary experience but also an art that connects us with tradition. We invite you to experiment with this recipe and discover the joy of making your own homemade sourdough bread. Enjoy!

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
