Soft Homemade Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Perfect Sourdough Sandwich Bread

1. Active Starter = Strong Rise:If your starter doesn’t double within 6 hours after feeding, it needs more maintenance before baking.
2. Hydration Control:Adjust flour slightly depending on humidity; dough should be soft but not sticky.
3. Use Bread Flour:It gives better gluten structure and elasticity for that soft pull-apart crumb.
4. Don’t Rush the Final Proof:Under-proofed dough can cause dense or split loaves.
5. Brush After Baking:For extra shine and softness, brush warm loaves with butter right after they come out of the oven.
