Soft Whole Grain Sourdough Sandwich
360g warm water
120g sourdough starter
40g olive oil
40g raw honey
1 egg
450g hard white whole wheat flour
110g spelt flour
15g salt
In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk the water and starter together. Then the olive oil, honey and egg. Add the flours, then knead on a low speed for 10min. Dough should be very sticky. Cover the bowl and let rest for an hour.
Add the salt and knead on a low speed for another 10min. Remove the dough whisk, cover the bowl and let rise for another hour. Work one set of stretch and folds, cover and let rise on the counter until nearly doubled in size. 6-8hours usually, depending on how warm or cool your kitchen is.
Shape into a loaf and put into a loaf pan lined with greased parchment paper. Let rise on the counter again for 1-2 hours or until visibly puffy. Spray with water and score down the center of the loaf, about 1” deep, if desired.
Bake at 425°F for 15min, then at 350°F for another 20-30 min or until center loaf temperature is 205°F.
Immediately brush with olive oil for a super soft crust, remove from loaf pan and cool on wire rack.
