    1. Knead the dough for 30 minutes to make it soft and smooth.

    1. Place the log into the greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for an hour.
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    1. Bake it for 45-55 minutes.
    1. Remove it from the oven and let it cool before serving.

    Substitutions

    • All-purpose flour — The original King Arthur's sourdough bread recipe calls for all-purpose flour, but you could substitute it with other flour. Whole-wheat flour has a higher protein content, which means your bread will be denser and more nutritious. Oat flour will bring a sweet and nutty flavor to the table, and rye flour could work, although your bread will have a darker look.
    • Instant yeast — Well, none of your other alternatives would work as well as instant yeast, you could make this King Arthur's sourdough starter recipe with baking powder, another leavening agent.
    • Water — This one is a common ingredient in most sourdough bread recipes, but why not try milk instead? It adds a flavor that is richer than water with a softer texture. Buttermilk would be another substitute for water. Due to its high acidic content, it will make your sourdough bread rise even more.
    • Granulated sugar — If you’d rather have your sourdough bread a little bit sweeter, you would be better off going with brown sugar. It provides a caramelized, somehow richer flavor, and the same goes for another alternative, molasses.

    Variations

    • Nuts and seeds — Adding sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even some chopped almonds and walnuts could upgrade your bread.
    • Dried fruits — Who wouldn’t like some sweet and fruity flavor in their sourdough bread? Raisins, cranberries, and dried apricots would all work fine, so go ahead and add some to the mix.

    Equipment

    • Measuring spoons and cups.
    • Loaf pan.
    • Mixing bowl.
    • Oven.

    Storage

    • It is best to store sourdough bread at room temperature, wrapped and placed in a bread box or any other container, and it will last for a few days.
    • If you’d like to enjoy your sourdough bread for a longer period, you’d best freeze it. Stored in your freezer, it will last for up to four months.

    Tips

    • The sourdough starter — For best results, your sourdough starter should be matured, regularly fed, and maintained for at least a week. Make sure that it’s bubbly and active, with a sour and pleasant taste.
    • Kneading the dough — In our King Arthur sourdough bread recipe, we used our own hands for kneading the dough, but you could also use a hand mixer for an easier and shorter time with guaranteed results.
