Quick Sourdough Bread Without Starter Recipe

Step 1

Add your dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine water, vinegar, and yogurt, then add this to the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Stir with a wooden spoon, then transfer the dough to a clean kitchen surface, and use your hands to start kneading.

Step 3

Knead the bread for 10 minutes, and your dough should become elastic and smooth.

Step 4

Place the dough back into the bowl, and cover it with a tea towel, till the dough rises to double its size. This can take 40-60 minutes depending on the warmth of your kitchen.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, shape your bread dough, and let the bread rise once more. You can place your dough into a proofing basket for a crisp crust.

Step 6

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and place a Dutch oven into the oven.

Step 7

Carefully remove the heated Dutch oven from the hot oven, and slice the top of the bread with a sharp knife, before carefully lowering the dough into the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the Dutch oven from the oven, lower the temperature to 400 degrees F, and replace the half-baked bread in the oven, to bake for another 20 minutes.
