Macadamia Free Classic Sourdough Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a crackling, mahogany-crusted loaf from a screaming-hot Dutch oven, and this sourdough delivers exactly that. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just starter, water, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt — so there is genuinely nothing hidden to worry about, no nut-based oils, no surprise add-ins, just pure fermented bread doing its thing. The whole wheat flour adds a subtle earthiness and a little extra depth to the crumb, while the long overnight cold proof in the fridge develops that signature tangy flavor you just cannot rush. Stretch-and-folds replace the need for a stand mixer, making this a very hands-on but low-equipment bake that rewards patience over gadgetry. Scoring the cold dough with a confident slash before it hits the Dutch oven is one of those small moments that feels genuinely exciting every single time. Once it comes out of the oven, the hardest part is waiting the full hour before slicing — but that rest is what gives you an open, glossy crumb instead of a gummy mess. Slice it thick, toast it, or tear it apart at the table; this is the kind of loaf that makes people ask if you baked it yourself, and the answer is a very satisfying yes.
