I baked today a huge sourdough bread and am quite shabby with the result.

Ripottelin hapanjuurileivän päälle rouhittua kurpitsansiementä. Paistoin kurpitsansiemenet kurkumaöljyssä enne rouhimista, jotta väri on kaunis.
Hapanjuurileipä Lécué -leipäkääreessä kohoamassa. – Sourdoughbread jeasting in Lécué Breadmaker.

I baked the sourdough bread in the picture from sourdough in a Lécué Bread maker, a kind of silicone pan. I used 3 dl sourdough, 5 dl water, 8 dl rye flour and 8 dl wheat flour. I kneaded the dough in the bowl of a food processor for 15 minutes, let it rise at room temperature for a few hours and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day I added 2 tsp of finely ground sea salt and 8 dl wheat flour.

I kneaded the dough again vigorously, let it rise before baking and put it in a cold oven. Baking time 30 minutes in a 200 degree oven and another 10 minutes in a 100 degree oven, tilted upside down on a baking sheet, so that the bread also baked on the bottom.

Hapanjuurileipä on kauniin muotoinen silikonileipäkääreessä paistettuna.
Paistoin hapanjuurileipää ylösalaisin, jotta pohja varmasti olisi kypsä. – Bread back to oven upside down, just to be sure it is well baked!
Bake bread with sourdough.
