Seeds Free Classic Sourdough Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a crackling, mahogany-crusted loaf out of a screaming-hot Dutch oven, and this sourdough delivers exactly that. The ingredient list is beautifully stripped back — just starter, water, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and sea salt — so there is nothing hidden to worry about, no seed-based oils, no poppy or sesame sneaking in from a store-bought loaf. For anyone navigating seed avoidance, artisan bread can feel like a minefield at the bakery counter, but making it at home puts you in complete control of every gram that goes into the dough. The method walks you through autolyse, stretch-and-fold sets, and an overnight cold proof, building flavor and that open, chewy crumb without any shortcuts or additives. Scoring the cold dough and dropping it into a preheated Dutch oven creates a burst of steam that gives you that dramatic ear and glossy crust you see in bakery windows. The payoff — a loaf that sings when you tap the bottom and slices into a tender, tangy interior — is absolutely worth the patience.
