American Cooking: The Northwest: Recipes
6 1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups lukewarm water (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Starting a day ahead, place the sourdough starter in a large glass or ceramic mixing bowl and add 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the lukewarm water. \With a large wooden spoon, mix the starter, flour and water together until well combined, then continue to stir until the dough is smooth. Drape the bowl with a kitchen towel and place in a warm, draft-free spot (such as an unlighted oven) overnight.
The following day, remove 1 cup of the mixture and refrigerate it, in a tightly sealed glass jar or crock, as your new, sourdough starter. Or you can add it to any sourdough starter you may have left.
To the dough remaining in the bowl add 4 cups of the flour, the salt, sugar, baking soda and oil. With a large spoon, stir the ingredients together, and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and the flour is completely absorbed. The dough should be just firm enough to be gathered into a ball. If it is too soft, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, a tablespoon at a time, beating vigorously, after each addition and using only enough of the flour to give the dough its proper consistency.
On a heavily floured surface, knead the dough by pushing it down with the heels of your hands, pressing it forward, and folding it back on itself. Continue to knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth, shiny and elastic. Sprinkle it from time to time with a little flour to prevent it from sticking to the board.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly buttered bowl. Drape with a kitchen towel and set in the warm, draft-free place for about 2 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in volume.
With a pastry brush, spread the bottom and sides of three warmed 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans with the softened butter. Punch the dough down with a single blow of your fist and with a large, sharp knife, cut it into three equal parts. Shape each part into a loaf and place the loaves in the loaf pans. Set aside in the warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, to allow them to double in volume.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Bake the loaves in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour, or until they are golden brown on top and shrink slightly from the sides of the pan. Transfer the bread to cake racks to cool and serve at room temperature.
