Mother Ycandus' Sourbread

Yields 1-2 loaves. Prep time 32-48 hours. Cook time 1 hour.

Ingredients: Sourbread starter, flour, water, salt, springbulb

Using the starter, feed the culture often to ensure it is active. The day prior to making, form a batter with leaven ingredients by stirring it all in a large bowl. Cover and let sit in a pantry overnight. Check for bubbles, this will tell you it is ready. Prepare a bowl of salted water, and ensure all salt dissolves, half brine. Mix a few ladles of water with the leaven, and add the smallest dash of springbulb cloves, no more than a child's fingernail. Once you've mixed to where most the water and batter are one, add the flour and continue to mix. Should form a nice shaggy dough.

Let the dough rest, about 3 hours. Now add the saltwater and mix. Mother always pinches and squeezes her dough, so be sure to do that. When all the water is absorbed, start to fold the dough. Do so for 2-3 hours. Now let it sit and have an ale for your efforts. after an hour, cut the dough or don't, depends on your oven size. Mold the dough into loose rounds, then let sit for another half hour to an hour. Then shape the loaves again. Sprinkle with lots of flour, and let rise for 4 hours. Before you add the dough, let your oven on for half an hour to an hour.

Now place the dough in the oven to start baking. Don't forget to score the top. Continue to bake, and check and bake. Let the loaves cool after they are ready, and now you have our famous Sourbread. Sales of our Sourbread without permission will not go over well, and you will be punished. Enjoy!
