| During the global COVID-19 Lockdown of Summer 2020, I was very grateful to be invited to participate in a global online event Women and Koji Making organized by Chef Ken Fornatoro of Cultures Group. This was a full weeklong online event, which combined live sessions and pre-recorded sessions from women fermenters around the world. My session was pre-recorded, click the photo to view it. Two very simple, yet versatile and fun, ways to use shio koji and amakoji to made delicious summer drinks! Shio koji is salty. Amakoji is naturally sweet. They both are the perfect magic ingredient for summer drinks. | ||

NOTE: I made this post on my iPhone and cannot format it properly. Sorry for how horrible it must look, but so many people have asked me for this recipe, I thought this was the easiest way to share.
I am a fermenter, not a baker. But for fun I have been teaching myself how to bake sourdough the past few years. Since the COVID-19 lockdown, I have had to simplify my recipe to the basics: - taking out any steps that waste flour - using no specialty baking items Below is the most simple process with proven results! 
Sourdough Loaf
STEP ONE - Prepare the Ingredients
Bowl One Starter 100g (my starter is 50% rye 50% water) Water 375g Mixed seeds 50g (hemp, sesame, teff, quinoa, etc...) Mix everything in the wet bowl with a whisk. ​ Small Bowl Salt 10g Bowl Two (470g flour - use whatever is available) Rye flour 10g Malthouse Flour 90g Strong white 370g Let this sit while you clean up. Then add the salt to the wet bowl and whisk. 
Prepare the ingredients
STEP TWO - Mix
​Mix the contents of the wet and dry bowls together with a spatula and/or hand. Stop when it is a bit tacky and can form into a sort of ball. 
Mix until it forms a sort of ball
Then cover with a cloth and let sit for an hour.

STEP THREE - The Folds
Then the folds - follow the Breadtopia method - (https://breadtopia.com/sourdough-no-knead-bread/ see video) Mix 20 minutes later some folds 20 minutes later some folds 20 minutes later some folds ​ STEP FOUR - Olive Oil, Cover and Ferment ​ Then coat it with some olive oil Put in a bowl Cover with a shower cap or plastic wrap Let ferment on counter for around 6-10 hours and pop in fridge overnight 15-18 hours. Overall the ferment time should be around 24 hours, with the majority of that being in the fridge.

STEP FIVE
Take out of fridge and coil fold into the bread pan/Dutch oven/baking vessel lined with parchment. (follow the Breadtopia method - (https://breadtopia.com/sourdough-no-knead-bread/ see video) Preheat oven to 250 Celsius (If there is no way to cover the bread pan, consider putting a tray of water in the bottom of the oven to help generate steam.) While oven heating, proof the dough (let it sit on counter and it will rise a bit) around 60 minutes, more or less is fine. Score the dough - basically cut a line into it. Cover the bread pan to keep moisture in, and put in the oven. 
Score the dough
STEP SIX - Bake
Bake for 40- 60 minutes - my oven is very very slow. Adjust time for your oven! For a bit more of a crispy crust, try an additional 5 minutes with the lid off. If the bottom is soft, just pop it back in the oven upside down for a few more minutes.

STEP SEVEN - Wait
​ Wait until it cools before slicing. Enjoy! 
Let cool before slicing
