Ingredients

For Activating the Sourdough Starter:

  • 1/4 c. sourdough starter
  • 1/2 c. lukewarm water
  • 1 c. whole wheat flour

For the bread:

  • 1/4 c. active sourdough starter
  • 1 1/2 c. warm water
  • 4 c. all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • Two nights before you want to make your bread combine the sourdough starter and lukewarm water mixing until totally combined. Add the flour and mix well.
  • Loosely cover and let sit for 12 hours or overnight.
  • In a large bowl add 1/4 cup of the active sourdough starter. Add in the warm water and stir untilt he starter has dissolved.
  • Add the all purpose flour to the yeast mixture, mixing to combine completely. Let the dough rest for
    30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the salt over the dough and mix to combine. Let the dough rest for 2 hours more.
  • Gently knead the dough for a minute then let the dough rest for 2 additional hours.
  • After 4 hours add the garlic and Parmesan cheese and knead until completely incorporated into the dough.
  • Work the dough by pulling the corners of the dough toward the center to form a ball. Once the ball is formed, turn it so the pulled edges are on the bottom of the dough.
  • Place the ball in a bowl, cover with a dish towel, put in
    the refrigerator, and let rise over night.
  • Place a Dutch oven in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle with flour.
  • Cut an X into the top of the dough.  Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and lift the dough into the pot using the parchment paper. 
  • Cover with a lid and bake for 30 minutes.   Remove the lid and bake for 10 additional minutes.  Remove from oven and cool.
