Sourdough French Bread
1 cup sourdough starter
1 1/2 c warm water
2 t salt
1 package yeast
1/2 t soda
4 c flour
2 c flour (for kneading)
2 t sugar
If you are going to start this bread the evening before or early
in the morning, you won't need the extra yeast. If you start it
3 hours before dinner, you will need it. Put the starter, water,
and flour in a bowl. Put this in a warm place and ignore it for
the rest of the day. By evening, it should have doubled and smell
like your starter again. Mix the sugar, salt, soda and 1 cup of
flour together. Sprinkle them over the dough, and mix well. Turn
the dough out onto your bread board and knead it, using the remaining
flour.
Shape loaves and place them on lightly greased cookie sheets. Let
rise until doubled in bulk, slash tops of loaves, brush them with
water or a well-beaten egg, and place in 400 F oven. (A pan of
water on lower shelf of the oven can help make a crispy crust.)
Bake until medium dark brown.
