Sourdough bread is a staple in many households, and for good reason. With its tangy flavor and chewy texture, sourdough is a favorite among bread lovers everywhere. But making sourdough bread from scratch can be intimidating. Luckily, there is an easy way to ensure success – using Licoli liquid culture. Licoli is an Italian liquid sourdough starter that is easy to use and yields amazing results. Here is a recipe for sourdough with Licoli liquid culture that you can try at home.

Ingredients:
– 500 grams bread flour
– 350 grams water
– 100 grams Licoli liquid culture
– 10 grams salt

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and water. Mix together until the dough is shaggy and no dry flour remains. The dough will be quite wet and sticky at this point.

2. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flour to absorb the water and make the dough easier to handle.

3. After 30 minutes, add the Licoli liquid culture to the bowl. Use your hands to mix it into the dough thoroughly until it is evenly distributed.

4. Sprinkle the salt over the dough and use your hands to incorporate it. This will take a few minutes of working the dough. You should notice the dough becoming smoother and more elastic as you go.

5. Cover the bowl once again and let the dough rise for about 6 to 8 hours. The dough should approximately double in size during this time.

6. After the initial rise, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to gently stretch the dough out into a rectangle, then fold it in thirds like a letter.

7. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes, then repeat the stretching and folding process, known as a “turn.”

8. Repeat the turns three more times, for a total of four turns. This will help develop the gluten and give the bread its structure.

9. After the final turn, shape the dough into a round loaf. You can use a banneton, or proofing basket, for this step if you have one. Otherwise, you can simply place the dough on a floured surface and cover it with a kitchen towel.

10. Let the dough rise for another 2 to 3 hours, until it has increased in size and feels light and airy. You can preheat your oven to 450°F during this time.

11. Once the dough has risen, make a shallow slash in the top with a sharp knife or razor blade. This will help the bread to expand as it bakes.

12. Place the bread in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

13. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Using Licoli liquid culture makes this sourdough recipe easy and foolproof. The culture provides a consistent source of yeast and bacteria to help the dough rise and develop its characteristic sour flavor. Give this recipe a try and see how easy it is to make delicious sourdough bread at home.
