How to Make Sourdough Brown Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the optional seeds/grains.
  2. Mix using a stand mixer with a dough hook, or a bread machine on the dough cycle, until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan or a Dutch oven.
  6. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  8. If using a Dutch oven, bake covered for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the lid and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
