If you don’t want to wait for active bubbly starter or have time for bulk fermentation, try making this quick sourdough discard bread with yeast. This bread can be mixed up and ready to rise in just a few minutes. No kneading or stretch and folds required. It’s simple and beginner friendly.
Add to your mixing bowl, lukewarm water, yeast, starter.
Mix until your water looks milky.
Now add in your sugar, stir.
Add salt and flour mix these two ingredients together before mixing in with the wet ingredients.
Form a ball with the dough and Drizzle some olive oil over top of it. Rub the oil all over the dough ball.
Cover your bowl and set somewhere warm. Sometimes it’s easiest to place in the oven with just the light on. Do not forget it’s in there. Place a note on the oven!
After about 1-2 hours, it should have doubled in size. Form a ball and preheat your oven to 415°F.
I do not place my dutch oven into the oven before the bread for this recipe.
Once it is pre heated, bake covered for 30 minutes. Take lid off and bake another 20 minutes. The top should be golden brown.
