Whole Wheat Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Ingredients

• 805 grams warm water
• 240 grams sourdough starter ((active and bubbly))
• 485 grams hard red wheat
• 610 grams hard white wheat
• 50 grams coconut oil ((melted))
• 50 grams honey
• 21 grams sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   --- Directions: ---

2. 2

   In a large food container, mix the water, starter, and wheat flours with your hands. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes to soak up the grains.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, melt together the coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan.

4. 4

   After the 30-minute rest, mix in the coconut oil, honey, and salt. Mix well with your hands until the oil and honey are incorporated.

5. 5

   Allow it to bulk rise for 7-8 hours in a warm place until the dough has doubled. I like to stretch and fold a few times within this period, but that's optional.

6. 6

   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 equal pieces. Shape the dough by forming a rectangle, then fold it in half. Roll up into a log shape and repeat with the other two loaves.

7. 7

   Place loaves seam down onto lightly greased bread pans and allow them to rise until they get to the top of the bread pans (about 1-2 hours in a warm spot).

8. 8

   Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before slicing.
