Ingredients
- 240 ml Active sourdough starter
- 120 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Salt
- 360 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans)
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tbsp Oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Step 2
Add the salt and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the batter comes together. The consistency should be thick but slightly sticky – no kneading is required.
Step 3
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts evenly, ensuring they are well-distributed throughout the batter.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow the batter to rise at room temperature for 6-8 hours, or until it has doubled in size. Rising time may vary depending on the activity of your sourdough starter and room temperature.
Step 5
Once the batter has risen, stir in the baking soda gently to help with the final rise during baking.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) with 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 10
Slice and serve the sourdough nut batter bread as is, or toast it and enjoy with butter, jam, or cream cheese.
