I just started putting whey in. In place of milk or water. It gives you extra protein, minerals and vitamins. I get the whey from making Greek yogurt in my breadmaker and draining the liquid from the yogurt normally 2-3 cups.

I absolutely love this recipe it’s my go to recipe for sour dough bread. I increased the sourdough to 1/2 cup. I normally make one with breadflour, one with 1/2 breadflour/1/2 whole wheat flour. I also make it as a cinnamon, brown sugar raisin bread 2 T of each per loaf. I use a breadmaker. Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve been doing sourbread for 4 years.

after doing the first part where i mixed everything together, my dough just seems a tad dry and not sticky.. i let it rest for an hour and i saw no change in it and i’m now letting it rest overnight. it just seems dense and not airy? … is that normal?

In reply to Brady. After the one hour mark, just add them in and work them in by hand. You can also add them in the morning through they are a little harder to get worked in.

When would you suggest adding inclusions?

Excellent Sourdough Bread! A compliment every time! I recently started using rice flour on the counter and in the Banneton and wow what a difference, no more sticking. I put the bowl of sourdough on a pot holder so it’s not directly on my granite countertops and I cover with plastic wrap, then a dish towel and let it rise overnight. By morning it’s risen perfectly. I live in Colorado so the plastic works best.
