Kamut sour dough

I decided to make a Kamut sour dough loaf and see how it tastes.

2 1/2 cups Kamut flour
1 cup sour dough starter
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/4 cup water
1 tsp oregano

As usual, I mixed the dry ingredients with the sour dough starter and then added the water. Once the dough was mixed, I let it proof in the oven for 2 hours before turning it off to rise over nite.




The next morning, the loaf was ready to shape. It was quite wet, so I did knead it for a minute with lots of flour.

This time I decided to experiment with the baking and rising to see what would happen. Once the loaf was shaped, I put it in the dutch oven to rise for 2 hours. Normally, I let it rise in the bowl and preheat the dutch oven. I got the idea from a friend and both of us were curious what would happen.
This is how it looked before baking. The bread tastes great and has a really nice sour dough flavor. With a little bit of butter it is perfect.


It kind of looks like a cake instead of a regular round loaf.
