Sourdough Baguettes - Sandwich Rolls
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
This sounds kinda silly, but I kept my sourdough starter (that I bought from King Arthur Flour) fed and kept in my ...
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
- 2 cups sourdough starter, about the consistency of thick pancake batter; fed, or unfed*
- 4 1/2 to 5 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast (I use SAF instant yeast)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ascorbic Acid** (I use LorAnn's brand from King Arthur Flour)
- 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten (I order from King Arthur Flour)
- 1 egg yolk lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for glaze; optional
- Pizza seasoning, sesame seeds, artisan bread topping, or anything else you think might be good; all optional
- If you feed your sourdough before using, the loaves will rise better; but if you're in a hurry, unfed sourdough will simply lend its flavor, while the yeast in the recipe takes care of the rise.
- The Ascorbic acid gives a nice little "bite" of sour dough flavor. I order mine online.
