This wee loaf is the closest thing I’ve made to a sourdough without all that starter carry on. It takes away all the hassle when it comes to kneading, never mind the worry of keeping a sourdough starter alive. It's hard enough at the best of times to keep myself alive never mind that, with how busy things can be. It takes minimal work, all you have to do is let it sit overnight. It has a tasty chewy crust, with big air pockets you see in a sourdough. Slightly warm, plastered in butter and you've a real winner. The perfect thing to mop up any stew or soup!

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Add your flour, dried yeast and salt to a large mixing bowl, giving this a wee whisk to combine. Pour in your water and stir together until it forms a shaggy dough. Cover it with some clingfilm and allow to rest at room temperature for about 12–18 hours. The surface will look spotted and bubbly when ready. The video shows this well for reference.

I'm not sure what Ive done wrong as I followed the steps but this is how it looked after 16 hours, no change. Any advice?

Hi Izzi, I’m not quite sure what’s happened on you there! My first thoughts would be the yeast, was it active or had it gone off? Another reason could be the temperature of the room it was left in. Was it a decent room temperature? From the photo it looks like the yeast hasn’t activated and done its job 🤦🏼‍♂️

I know it looks terrible my bad! So my house is really cold in the winter and I just can't keep it warm overnight, I've since learnt that I can put it in the oven with the light on? I'm going to try that tonight and see how it goes. (I'm completely new to bread so I'll get there eventually Im sure😬)

It doesn't at all Izzi, it just lacked the rise from the yeast activation! The dough will look a bit rough and shaggy, don't worry about that 😄 I recently heard of that wee tip, let me know how it goes! We kept ours in the living room where the fire was lit but popped it behind the sofa 🙌🏻 It's something I'm learning a lot about as well, we'll get there! Trust me if I can rustle these recipes up anyone can 😄

Great recipe! It was so easy, smelled great while it was baking, and it tastes great. It is so tender inside - I can’t wait to sop up some gravy with it! Will definitely make again.
