Preparation

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
• Add the active sourdough starter and water to the bowl.
• Mix until there are no dry bits left. You should have a rough dough.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
• Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a small loaf.
• Place the loaf in a lightly greased mini loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
• Cover again and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.
• Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) during the last 30 minutes of rising.
• Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
• Let it cool on a rack before slicing.
