1. Feed Starter: About 24 hours before you want to bake your bread, feed 25 grams of starter with 25 grams of whole wheat flour, 50 grams of unbleached all purpose flour, and 75 grams of filtered water at 90 F (32 C).
2. Float Test: 8-10 hours after feeding your starter gently drop a spoonful of starter in a glass of water. If it floats then it is ready to mix your dough. If it doesn't float, give it a bit more time to get active.
3. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 100 grams of ripe starter with 300 grams of water at 90 F (32 C). Mix together until the starter is distributed in the water. Add 500 grams of unbleached all purpose flour or bread flour on top, followed by 10 grams of fine sea salt or kosher salt. Mix all of the ingredients together until the flour is completely saturated. I like to start with a rubber spatula or a bowl scraper, and then use my hands to finish mixing.
4. Bulk Ferment: Cover the dough with plastic wrap, a shower cap, or a damp kitchen towel and let sit at room temperature (68-72 F, 20-22 C) for 10-12 hours until puffy and full of air. If your room is much warmer, reduce the bulk fermentation time by a few hours.

WEBApr 22, 2024 · Step 1: Proof the Yeast. Combine the warm milk, water, dried yeast, and a pinch of the sugar. Stir together and let it sit for 5-10 …

1. PROOF YEAST: Combine the warm water, warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar if you are making a full batch or 1/2 tsp of sugar if you are making a 1/2 batch, to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the yeast dissolves. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes. If it is slightly frothy and you can see bubbles forming on top, then your yeast is active. If you don't see any activity, your yeast is likely too old.
2. MIX DOUGH: Add the butter, sugar, salt, and the smallest amount of flour listed (6 1/2 cups if making a full batch, 3 1/4 cups if making a 1/2 batch) to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon, bowl scraper, or clean hands until all the flour is hydrated and the ingredients are well incorporated. At this point the dough will likely be very sticky and shaggy. Do not add any more flour yet.
3. KNEAD: If kneading the dough by hand, dust a work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto the work surface. Dust flour over the top of the dough and begin kneading it. Add a bit more flour as needed up to 1 more cup. The dough should feel soft and sticky, but it shouldn't be gluing itself to the counter or your hands. Watch the video tutorial if you are unfamiliar with kneading by hand. Alternatively, you can add the dough to the bowl of your stand mixer fit with the dough hook and knead it on medium-high speed. Add more flour bit by bit to the stand mixer until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If kneading by hand, knead for about 8-10 minutes. If kneading in the stand mixer, knead for 6-8 minutes. When the dough is smooth and elastic and springs back when a finger is pressed into it, you are done kneading.
4. FERMENT (1ST RISE): Grease a clean bowl with a bit of oil or non-stick spray and transfer your dough to the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the dough with a damp towel or a piece of plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until double in size and filled with air. This will take about 1 hour if using quick rise yeast and 2 hours if using active dry yeast.
