Homemade Sourdough Sandwich Bread | Same Day
Same day sourdough?! You betcha! It’s super soft and very simple to make! I’ve listed the ingredients and how to below! Let me know below if you try this!
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
â–¢ 100 g Sourdough Discard unfed sourdough starter
â–¢ 250 g Water
â–¢ 500 g Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour
â–¢ 10 g Salt
â–¢ 20 g Sugar
â–¢ 60 g Butter room temperature
â–¢ 7 g Instant Yeast
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the sourdough discard, water and flour into the bowl of your stand mixer or Thermomix and mix until it forms a shaggy dough (around 30 seconds will do it). Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
Now add the salt, sugar, butter and yeast to the bowl and knead the dough for around 3 to 6 minutes.
You want the dough to be elastic, silky and slapping the sides of the bowl. Just keep the mixer going until you achieve this. If you are using a stand mixer you'll need to use your dough hook attachment for this step.
Now you need to let your dough rise. You are using instant yeast as the leavening agent in this recipe, rather than sourdough/wild yeast, so it will rise very quickly, particularly if your home is warm.
Leave it for around an hour (it will take longer if your house is cooler). You want it to double.
While you're waiting for the dough to double, lightly butter a sandwich loaf or pullman pan so it's ready to go when the dough is shaped.
Once the dough has doubled, tip it out onto the counter top with the smooth side underneath and the sticky side on the top. Gently ease the dough out into a rectangle. It should be quite easy to do this as the dough is very elastic.
Now you want to shape your dough into a sandwich loaf. This is fairly easy. Make sure that the short side of the rectangle is in front of you. Fold each side of the dough into the middle, then roll the dough into a tight log with the seam underneath. Tighten the top of the dough by putting your hands at the base and pulling the dough towards you, without lifting if off the countertop.
Once the dough is shaped, gently place it into the buttered loaf tin. Leave the dough to rise until it's just above the rim of the tin.
This will take around an hour, depending on the temperature of your home.
Once the dough has risen, you'll need to bake your loaf.
Turn your oven on and set the temperature to around 180C/350F.
Let it warm for around 10 minutes. Spray the top of your dough with some water mist and place into the oven.
Make sure that there's plenty of room for it to grow in the oven as it will generally keep rising.
Bake your bread at 180C/350F for around 40 to 45 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown.
Remove from the loaf tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Making homemade sourdough sandwich bread is a rewarding experience that brings the taste of artisanal baking to your kitchen. This quick recipe uses sourdough discard, ensuring that every bit of your starter gets utilized, reducing waste. The key ingredients include bread flour, sugar, butter, and instant yeast, which contribute to the bread's soft texture and rich flavor. To start, combine the sourdough discard with water and flour, allowing it to form a shaggy dough. This step encourages the development of flavor while awakening the yeast in the sourdough starter. Then, let the dough rest to relax the gluten, making it easier to knead. Remember, kneading not only develops gluten structure but also incorporates the salt, sugar, butter, and instant yeast that will help the bread rise beautifully. The rising times may vary depending on your kitchen's temperature; a warm space can speed up the process, typically doubling the dough within an hour. Shaping your loaf correctly helps create an even rise and beautiful crumb. After shaping, the dough rises again until it just peeks over the rim of the pan, making it ready for the oven. Baking at 180C/350F allows the bread to develop a golden-brown crust while maintaining a soft, airy interior. If you're looking to experiment, consider adding herbs or spices for flavor variations. Enjoy your homemade sourdough sandwich bread fresh or toasted, elevating your favorite sandwiches and breakfast dishes with its unique taste and texture.
