Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for two days.

]]> 99822 1 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/51.jpg Combine ingredients In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of bread flour, the remaining sugar, the salt, and the package of yeast. Stir in the milk and butter; then stir in 1 1/2 cups of your starter.

]]> 99823 2 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/62.jpg Mix in flour Mix in the remaining bread flour gradually. Add more if the dough is too sticky.

]]> 99824 3 67 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/67.jpg Knead the dough Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead it for 10 minutes.

]]> 99825 4 71 Tip You can also knead the dough in a stand mixer or bread machine.

]]> 99826 5 75 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/75.jpg Let rise Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough around a few times to coat. Cover with a dishcloth or plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in volume, one to two hours.

]]> 99827 6 87 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/87.jpg Punch down Punch down the dough and then let it rest for 15 minutes before shaping it into two loaves. Place them on a greased baking sheet dusted with coarsely ground cornmeal and let rise until it doubles again, about another hour.

]]> 99828 7 100 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/100.jpg Bake Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Just before you’re ready to put in the loaves, gently make 1/4-inch-deep slashes on the top with a sharp knife. If it’s a round loaf, make two horizontal and two vertical slashes in a tic-tac-toe pattern. For an oblong loaf, make a few horizontal slits or one long vertical one.

]]> 99829 8 121 Tip Dipping the knife in cold water before each slash keeps the dough from sticking to it.

]]> 99830 9 125 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262889/125.jpg Make egg wash Beat an egg with one tablespoon of water and gently brush it over the top of the loaves. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

]]> 99831 10 134 Fact The Ancient Egyptians made sourdough bread as early as 1500 BC.
