Heathers High Altitude Sourdough Bread Recipes
HEATHER'S HIGH ALTITUDE SOURDOUGH BREAD
A conglomerate of recipes, this is just what worked for me after experimenting at 6,500ft. To make "real" sourdough bread, experts say you should never use yeast. But up at 6,500 ft I found I needed a little kick to get my bread to rise. Experiment at your altitude and location!

Steps:
- To make the sourdough sponge/starter, Take 2 cups flour, mix with 2 cups warm water, plus a ½ cup of sugar. Mix and let sit a glass or plastic bowl with a towel on top for about a week in a warm place. After a beery smell starts to develop, you have sourdough starter! Mix any hooch (brownish liquid that may form on top) back into the starter.
- To start your loaf of bread, you must "proof" your sponge. Do this by taking your sponge and adding a cup of flour and a cup of warm water to it. Place the sponge in a glass/plastic bowl covered with a towel, and leave in a very warm spot for an hour or until a frothy surface and beery smell develops. The longer your sponge sits out, the more of a sour flavor will develop.
- From here you can use two cups of the sponge in your recipe and save the other cup in a mason jar in the refrigerator. To the Mason jar sponge, add another cup of flour, and another cup of warm water. Mix well. Loosely cap this jar to let it breathe a little. Don't forget to feed your starter ½ cup flour and ½ cup warm water weekly, or else you should make bread once a week. This is a living yeast culture and should be treated like a pet!
- Place your dry active yeast in ¾ cup warm water. Let moisten and stir.
- To the sponge add sugar, salt, yeast water and oil. Mix well. Knead in a little flour at a time to make a good, flexible dough consistency. In drier climates you may not need all the flour. In humid climates you may need more.
- Lightly grease the skin of the dough so it does not dry out. Let the dough rise in a warm place while covered loosely with a towel for about an hour or until doubled.
- Punch down and knead a little more. Form your loaf. Place it on a lightly greased baking sheet and grease the dough again. You may slit the top at this time. Cover with a towel and place back in your warm spot. Let rise again until doubled.
- You may also use lightly beaten egg whites to coat the dough if you prefer a dark, slick texture after baking.
- Place the loaf in oven; turn it to 350 degrees F. Do not preheat! Loaf is done when a light brown crust forms, and makes a hollow noise when tapped with a wooden spoon, anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Cool before slicing.

- Activate the preferment (4-5 hours)In a medium bowl, whisk 2 TB sourdough starter into 100ml water until combined. Add 100g flour and mix just until you have a thick, craggy dough with no dry flour. Cover and rest in a warm place until mixture has doubled and looks thick and bubbly. (4-5 hours) If the mixture hasn’t roughly doubled at this point, add a little more flour and water and allow to ferment for some additional time. Make the dough/autolyse (~30 mins)In a large bowl, combine the preferment with 400ml water and 500g of bread flour, 50g of whole wheat flour, and 50g spelt flour (or whatever flours you are using). Mix just until all the flour has been hydrated (using another splash or two of water, if needed). Cover with plastic and let rest 30 minutes. (30 mins) Stretch & fold + bulk fermentation (~4 hours)1. Uncover the bowl, sprinkle 2 tsp sea salt and a splash of water on top, and work in with hands until integrated.
- p id=”instruction-step-2″>2. Either in the bowl, or on an oiled counter, begin to stretch-and-fold the dough for a few minutes, until it begins to feel elastic and a little “bouncy.” Use a silicone dough scraper to help scoop the sides of the dough up as you work. This is messy work; expect the dough to remain sticky, though it will become more elastic and firm as you go.
- 1. Prepare your final proofing container: either a banneton basket or a medium bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel and sprinkled very liberally with flour.
- id=”instruction-step-4″>2. Pre-shape: Turn the dough onto a floured surface (sticky side up), then gently pull and stretch the dough from the bottom to the middle to create a ball shape, pinching the ends together in the middle to seal them together. If you prefer a batard or oblong shape, form the dough into a rough rectangle and fold one end halfway up the rectangle, then fold the other end in to meet it. Roll the dough into a rough log, using your fingertips to pinch together a seam along the length of the loaf and tuck and to seal the ends. Be careful to do this process gently so as not to deflate the gases that have allowed the dough to rise. Flip the dough over, cover with a tea towel, and rest for 30 mins.
