      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Sourdough
  1. Sourdough

    1. 

    Add all ingredients in order, except salt and honey, to the TM bowl and mix speed 4 for 10 seconds

     

    2. 

    Rest for 30 minutes in TMX bowl. Dislodge from blades before next step.

     

    3. 

    Add salt and honey (if using) then knead for 2 minutes on dough setting.

     

    4. 

    Tip out of bowl and knead into a round ball shape. Place in an oiled bowl or Thermomat to rest for 2 hours (keep covered so it doesn't dry out).

     

    5. 

    Knead and shape sourdough into a loaf shape & prove for a second time - minimum 4 hours. I recommend using a bread proving basket for this.

     

    6. 

    Preheat oven to 270 degrees Celsius with a large pizza stone inside

     

    7. Finger poke test - if it bounces back it's not yet ready.

     

    8. When ready tip dough out of bread proving basket onto hot pizza stone, score with a serrated knife and place back in the hot oven. Reduce temperature down to 250 degrees Celsius and cook for 10 minutes

     

    9. 

    Reduce temperature down to 170 degrees Celsius (leave door open till lower temp is reached). Cook for 30 minutes.

     

    10. 

    Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 45 minutes - it will still be cooking on the inside

Tip

If you do not have sourdough starter please search Recipe Community for the recipe and make it yourself.

The bread proving baskets can be purchased online (I got mine from e-Bay) or from large reputable kitchen shops. I recommend buying the rattan ones and not the silicone ones.

    After many attempts at various recipes for sourdough, this one is the winner. Probably because of the bread improver... but it works perfectly. The dough is good to work with and the bread is delicious. Yum!

    Turned out perfect! I'm a novice at bread making and still in the experimental stages. I timed the preparation incorrectly and my loaf was ready for its final proofing at 9pm so I put the loaf in a proofing basket inside a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Too my complete surprise, it doubled in size overnight and passed the poke test so straight into a cold oven the next morning. Perfection! Thank you for the recipe.
