Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough starter The magic happens here—don’t skip this part!
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Author uses Tesco Value; it performs beautifully.
  • 1 cup water (room temperature) Filtered water is best to keep my inner water snob happy.
  • 1 tsp salt Sea salt is preferred; avoid fine table salt.
Optional Ingredients
  • to taste olive oil For a nice crispy crust; optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine your sourdough starter, water, flour, and salt. Stir until it forms a shaggy dough.
  2. Lightly flour your countertop and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s soft and elastic.
  3. Place your kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and leave it in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each piece into a bowl, tucking the edges underneath.
  5. Place your shaped bowls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with the towel again, and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and bake the bowls for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Let your bowls cool on a wire rack for a bit but serve warm.

Notes

If you burn the bottom: Gently scrape it off and serve the rest. You can substitute sourdough starter with a packet of active yeast but will require longer rising time.
