The word 'Casera' means of the house, which is how this bread got it's name. This is a great sourdough for any meal, and one of my personal favorites. It has a lightly sour flavor. (It might even be great for cinnamon toast!) I'm using a bread machine for the dough here but you don't need one. (Let me know if you would like instructions for no-bread machine! (Although its very much the same!)) I'll try to get the 'non-bread machine' recipe up here soon!
Basic Hungry Hill Sourdough Casera Loaf Recipe
3/4 cup sourdough starter
1.5 cup warm water
3.5 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
In the bowl of your bread machine, add the water and the start. On top of this add 3.5 cups of flour) (letting it float on the liquid) sprinkle the salt on top of the flour and place in the bread machine. Set to the dough setting and press start. It should be about 1.5 hours before the dough is done and ready to bake!
Form the dough into a smooth ball and slash a few cuts into the top. Let it sit while you preheat the oven, with a baking stone in, to 400 degrees. When the oven is heated put the bread in and bake for 45-50 min or until hollow souning when tapped on the bottom.
