No Fuss Sourdough~ Challah Egg Bread

In the last post in this series I showed how I make no fuss sourdough soft sandwich bread and before that my no fuss sourdough artisan bread. This time I am going to share a delicious egg enriched recipe for no fuss sourdough Challah bread.

This recipe contains a a few more ingredients than the other two loaves loaf but follows the same simple proccess and is definitely worth it!

This Challa Egg bread is richer and a bit denser than the sandwich loaf but still soft. This dough also makes great cinnamon rolls!

No Fuss Method

Over the last several years I developed my own method of making sourdough. This method is based on trial and error with a lot of inspiration from the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. When I switched to baking almost only sourdough I wanted something similarly easy and this method was born. My method really doesn’t take much more than 5 minutes a day excluding the resting and baking time. Somebody else is probably making sourdough this way but I haven’t really seen anything like it online.

Here is a review of the 5 basic steps I do:

1. Take starter out of the fridge and add some to a bowl. Then add all the other ingredients from your chosen recipe.

2. Mix and knead in the bowl until a dough is formed. Cover and allow to rise for 8-12 hours.

3. Feed starter equal parts flour and water, place back in fridge.

4. Form dough into loaves or rolls. Allow to rest for 20 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat oven.

5. Bake bread.

That’s it! No fussing with feeding the starter first, waiting until it is active, or dealing with discard. This is how I make Sourdough every time. Everything from artisan loaves to dinner rolls to cinnamon rolls!

Now time for the Challah egg bread recipe!
