How To make Sourdough San Francisco Bread
Ingredients
1/2
tablespoon
salt
1
tablespoon
yeast, dry
2
tablespoon
cider vinegar
1 1/2
cup
water, warm
5 1/2
cup
flour
1
cup
sourdough starter
1/2
teaspoon
baking soda
1
tablespoon
sugar
1
yellow cornmeal
Directions:
In large warmed bowl, sprinkle yeast over water, stir to dissolve and let stand until bubbly. Blend in starter, sugar, salt and vinegar. Gradually beat in 3 c of the flour. Beat at least 3 minutes. Turn batter into a large oiled glass or ceramic bowl, cover with towel and let rise in warm place 1 hour or until double in bulk.
Combine 1 cup of the remaining flour with baking soda. Stir batter down and add flour-baking soda mixture. Gradually add remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead, adding additional flour only as needed to prevent sticking, approximatley 300 strokes of folding and turning or until dough is smooth and elastic. Sprinkle a greased baking sheet with cornmeal.
Form dough into 2 oblong loaves and place on sheet. Cover with towel and let rise in warm place 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until not quite double in size. With sharp razor, slash the tops of loaves diagonally. Mist with water and bake in 450 oven 10 mins. Reduce heat to 400 and bake 35 mins longer or until bread tests done. For a harder crust, place a pan of hot water on bottom of oven and mist with water several times during baking. Remove pan of water after 15 mins of baking.
Turn out onto wire rack and cool.
NOTE: If you like your sourdough very dark, remove the baked bread from the pan or sheet and place under broiler about 2 mins, or until rich brown in color.

How I Make Sourdough Bread Every Day In LESS Than 30 Minutes (hands-on time)
This is the process that I use to bake sourdough bread every day. I've cut the process down to a minimum while making sure that I still get a fantastic loaf of bread.
It's not quite as speedy as my no-knead recipe but the crumb is a little more organised with less of a random open crumb.

Tartine Manufactory: Where to eat sourdough in San Francisco | Where Locals Go
The sourdough bread recipe from San Francisco’s Tartine is 38 pages long, which is the first indication how seriously this bakery takes bread. Owner Chad Robertson developed the recipe using traditional baking methods, which has a long fermentation to build flavor. The result is a dark, crusty bread with a custardy, tender inside. The process to create bread begins with Tartine’s starter, a fermented batter of flour, water, sugar and yeast used to leaven and flavor bread dough. It has been gifted to bakers all over the world. As Jennifer Latham, the Director of Bread for Tartine’s Northern California locations, explains, baking bread is a practice that can constantly be improved upon. Achieving the perfect loaf is practically impossible, but even slightly imperfect bread is still really, really good bread.

Simple Sourdough Bread: Step by Step ????????75% Hydration
This is a very basic sourdough bread: 500 g flour, 375 g water, 100 g starter, and 11 g salt. It follows the same process/formula as my Whole Wheat-ish Sourdough Bread recipe. This one makes a slightly larger loaf and calls for all-purpose flour or bread flour (no whole wheat, though you certainly could add some if you wish).
At the end of the video, I should you the crumb of two different loaves, one that underwent a 6-hour fridge proof, and one that underwent a 24-hour fridge proof.
A longer, cold proof is the key for a lighter, airier crumb.
Update: In the video, I end the bulk fermentation when the dough has doubled in volume. More recently, I have been ending the bulk fermentation when the dough has increased by 50% in volume. If you've had success with letting the dough double, continue to do so. I am finding I actually get even better oven spring, when I shorten the bulk fermentation and don't let the dough grow so high.
