First Successful Rustic Sourdough

This is my first successful sourdough bread. It is not a 100% sourdough bread though as it contains 2g of commercial yeast.

Personally, I don't quite like the taste (maybe I didn't put enough of salt in it) coz it is quite bland. The skin of the bread it crusty though and the inside is quite fluffy and soft.

Ingredients:

• 227g levain (the one that is fed and has bubbled up and spongy
• 340g lukewarm water (I used half hot and half cold as it is winter here)
• 7g or 2 tsp of instant yeast
• 14g sugar
• 2.5tsp salt
• 600g all purpose flour

Steps:

1. Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl and knead it to form a smooth dough.
2. Allow the dough to rise in a lightly greased covered bowl until it's doubled in size. It took mine bout 1hr and 5mins.
3. Gently divide the dough in half. It is ok if it deflates.
4. Gently shape the dough into two oval loaves or long loaves and place them on greased parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Cover and let it rise until very puffy, roughly bout an hour. 
6. At the end of the second proofing, preheat the oven to 210c.
7. Spray the loaves with water then make two deep diagonal slashes in each with either a serrated or very sharp knife.
8. Then bake the bread for 25-30mins, depending on your oven until it is deep golden brown.
9. Remove and cool on rack.
