   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  sourdough starter -- ripe (fed), (227g)
   1                cup  water -- lukewarm, (227g)
   1           teaspoon  instant yeast -- or active dry yeast, optional, Note:
   1                cup  cornmeal -- whole-grain preferred, (138g)
   1                cup  White Whole Wheat Flour -- (113g)
   1                cup  Bread Flour -- Unbleached, (120g)
   1                cup  cooked wild rice -- (164g)
   1           teaspoon  salt
   1                cup  dried cranberries -- (113g)

This flavorful loaf needs no adornment. The wild rice affords it an 
earthy chew, with bright, tart-sweet dried cranberries for 
counterpoint. It's a wonderful bread for any meal or time of day. 
Adding yeast will shorten the rise times, but it isn't necessary if 
your starter is bubbly and very active.

Note: to ensure rise if your starter isn't very active

PREP: 40 mins
BAKE: 35 to 40 mins
TOTAL: 5:50
SERVING SIZE: 3/4" slice, 56g

In a large bowl, combine the starter, water, yeast, cornmeal, and 
flours. Mix and knead for 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

Knead in the cooked wild rice, salt, and dried cranberries. Knead by 
hand for 6 minutes, or for about 3 minutes using a stand mixer. Or 
place in a bread machine programmed to the dough cycle. Cover and let 
rise for 45 minutes (or let the bread machine finish its cycle).

Turn the dough out and fold it in thirds. Return it to its container, 
cover, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Shape the dough into a round or oval and place, seam side up, in a 
basket or bowl lined with a damp tea towel heavily sprinkled with 
cornmeal. Let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours; or cover and refrigerate overnight.

One hour before you're ready to bake, preheat the oven (with a baking 
stone on the middle rack, if you have a stone) to 475F. If the dough 
was chilled overnight, take it out of the refrigerator before turning 
the oven on. Set up a shallow, stovetop-to-oven pan or skillet with 
1" of water in it.

When the dough looks puffy (it won't necessarily double in size), 
bring the pan of water to a simmer on the stove and place it in the 
oven below the baking stone. Turn the loaf out of the towel onto a 
piece of parchment on a peel (or onto a baking sheet, if you're not 
using a stone). Slash the top from end to end, 1/2" deep, with a 
sharp knife. Slide the dough and parchment onto the stone. If you 
have a spray bottle, spritz the inside of the oven 5 or 6 times 
before closing the door.

Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, until deep golden brown all 
over, and the center measures 195F or higher when tested with a 
digital thermometer. The bottom will sound hollow when thumped.

Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a rack before slicing.

Store the bread, tightly wrapped in plastic, at room temperature for 
several days; freeze for longer storage.

Tips: Don't have any starter? Here's a recipe for homemade sourdough 
starter. If you're making it from scratch, you'll need to feed it for 
5 to 7 days before it's ready for baking. Want a head start? Purchase 
our classic fresh sourdough starter - it'll be ready for baking soon 
after it arrives at your door. Looking for tips, techniques, and all 
kinds of great information about sourdough baking? Find what you need 
in our sourdough baking guide.
For a taller loaf, the dough can be shaped into a log and placed, 
seam side down, in a greased 9" x 5" pan for its last rise and to bake.
