Thermomix Sourdough Bread

(I used the TMX baguette recipe for this.)

Ingredients:
1. 330gm water
2. +/-500gm high protein bread flour
3. 150gm sourdough starter
4. Salt

------------------------------------------

1. Place water into TMX jug and set 2min/37C/speed 2.

2. Add the flour, salt and sourdough starter and knead for 3 mins.

3. Place the dough into a bowl and let it rise.

4. Once it has risen, punch it back down and place it in the fridge for 24 hours.

5. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

6. Take out the dough from the fridge and knock the dough back down and place it on the baking tray. Allow it to rise for another 2 hours. Using a sharp knife, cut some lines on the top of the dough.

7. Preheat oven at 250C.

8. Bake for approximately 35mins or until golden brown.

9. Allow to cool.

Bon appetit!

Sourdough Starter

Ingredients:

1. Ground wheat (100gm)
2. Kefir grains and kefir water (150gm)

----------------------------------------

I bought organic winter wheat groats and used the TMX to grind them.

I then added 100gm of this to the 150gm of kefir water and kefir grains to start the sourdough starter.

It multiplied at such rapid speed that I had to place the jar in the fridge as I couldn't keep up.

Once it expands, remove half in this jar and add another 100gm wheat and 150gm of kefir water again. (You can keep the amount you have removed in another jar. You can use it for pancakes or bread.)

Repeat this process for about a week or two.

Your sourdough starter will be ready to be used.
