Farmhouse on Boone Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Overview

This recipe yields a soft and fluffy sourdough sandwich loaf, made with plain all-purpose flour, sourdough starter, butter (or coconut oil), and a touch of honey for sweetness. It delivers a delightful tang and a texture that rivals bakery loaves.(Farmhouse on Boone)

Ingredients

• ½ cup softened butter (or coconut oil for a vegan version)
• 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar as substitute)
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 cup active, bubbly sourdough starter
• 2½ cups water (room temperature)
• 8 cups all-purpose flour(Farmhouse on Boone)

Tip: Softened butter blends more easily, so cube it before mixing. Avoid over-fermenting—the dough can become unmanageable.(Farmhouse on Boone)

Instructions

1. Mix & Knead

• In a stand mixer (or by hand), add all ingredients—flour last to adjust hydration if needed.
• Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test (stretchable thin without tearing)—about 10 minutes. The dough should pull away from the bowl’s sides.(Farmhouse on Boone)

2. Bulk Fermentation

• Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 10–12 hours in a warm spot (e.g., on top of the fridge or stove). In warm weather, this may be around 8 hours.(Farmhouse on Boone)

3. Shape & Second Rise

• Divide the dough into two equal parts.
• Roll into rectangles and then form loaves.
• Place in greased or parchment-lined loaf pans, seam-side down.
• Let rise at room temperature for 2–4 hours or until doubled.(Farmhouse on Boone)

4. Bake

• Optionally, brush with egg wash for a golden top.
• Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes, until golden.(Farmhouse on Boone)
• Let cool completely before slicing.

Storage & Tips

• Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for lasting freshness.(Farmhouse on Boone)
• If your mixer cannot handle the full dough batch, halve the recipe or knead by hand.(Farmhouse on Boone)
• Various readers rave about this loaf’s even, soft crumb and how it fits into their weekly baking routine with ease.(Farmhouse on Boone, Reddit)
