SOURDOUGH BREAD WITH FRIENDSHIP STARTER

This is the last cup of starter I have from my 10 day mix. You are probably thinking at long last I am going to prepare bread with the friendship starter. I agree the title is a little confusing , friendship bread is a very old recipe from long ago. I have been told this recipe came from Germany ( centuries earlier) and known as Herman's bread. The word bread icluded in all the recipes is because we use a 'starter' that takes 10 days to prepare. The recipe is truly magic and I am so glad and honoured to share it with you. To day we make bread..... Ingredients.....1 cup of friendship starter, 7gm of dried yeast, 1 cup of lukewarm water, 3 tbs of canola oil, 3 cups of bread flour (00/ mid protein ), 1 tsp of salt. Let's begin....Dissolve 7gm of dried yeast in 1 cup of lukewarm water and let stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). In a large non metallic bowl mix together 1 cup of friendship starter , the yeast mix, 3 tbs of canola oil, 2 cups of bread flour, 1 tsp of salt. Finally add another cup of bread flour in 1/4 cup increments, stirring after each addition. Now place the dough in the bowl of your mixer and mix with dough hooksuntil smoothand elastic, about 10 minutes. Oil a large bowl and place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat the dough. Cover with adamp cloth and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 60 minutes. Preheat your oven now 200deg C. It is your choice about the shape of your bread. If using a loaf pan , just lightly grease it , you can also use a heated Dutch oven, or just a lined and lightly greased oven tray. Deflate the dough and place the dough in the trat/ pan of your choice . Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
