I love overnight recipes because they work so well for sourdough and are so simple and low-stress. This 66% hydration Overnight Sourdough Sandwich Bread is vegan, rustic, and mildly tangy. It calls for mixing and kneading the ingredients the night below and letting it go through a long slow overnight proof. In the morning, the dough is shaped and then let to proof for a couple of hours before it is ready for baking. It works great for making hefty sandwiches like pastrami and is perfect for toasting.
