Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 Tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water

Instructions

  1. In mixer bowl add flours and salt. With the dough hook blend together. Making a small dip in the center of mixture add sourdough starter, yeast and lukewarm water. Mix until the dough is smooth and leaves the bowl with clean sides.

  2. Cover bowl with a towel and let dough rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Knead dough by hand or by using a stand mixer for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let dough rise at room temperature for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

  5. Remove from bowl. Divide dough in half and fold over a few times. Shape each half into a round ball and place on lightly greased cooking sheet. To avoid the dough from drying out cover dough with plastic wrap treated with cooking spray and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  6. Preheat oven 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Remove plastic. Score tops of dough with a bread lame.
  8. Bake until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit (check temperature by using an instant thermometer). Remove from oven and transfer to wire racks. Place bread on cooling rack and allow to cool completely before cutting.

  9. Insert a knife at an angle into the bread and cut out a circle. Remove top from bread.

  10. Hollow out lower half, leaving a 1/2 inch shell (save bread removed for dipping).
  11. Fill bread with your favorite soup or dip.

  12. Enjoy!
