Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix sourdough starter, water, and flour to create a dough. Cover and let it ferment at room temperature for 12-16 hours.
  2. After fermentation, shape the dough into a loaf and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
  3. While the sourdough bakes, prepare the sandwich ingredients by slicing the bread, spreading mayonnaise, layering lettuce and meat, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Once the sourdough is ready, let it cool slightly before slicing and assembling the sandwich with the prepared ingredients.
  5. Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
