here's how I create great sourdough loaves without kneading

My recipe for sourdough wheat bread 4 cups unbleached bread flour 1/2 cup of unbleached full-flavor (dark) whole wheat flour 2 tspns fine sea salt 2 tbspns safflower or other good quality, flavorless oil 4 tbspns good local honey 2 cups wheat sourdough starter 3 - 4 cups icewater My starter is flour and water only. It doesn't matter if you use a firm or slack starter. Just make sure it is a good lively starter that smells good. In this recipe, I make my dough in a food processor in two batches because home food processors can't handle the full amount of dough in one batch. I have tested this with the classic Cuisinart and with a Braun and the Braun works better. The new Cuisinart may work better still. To start, lightly oil a large bowl. Have room in the refrigerator for the bowl. Also have a small bowl of water next to you. 1. Put two cups bread flour and 1/4 cup wheat flour into workbowl of food processor fitted with steel blade. Add 1 tspn salt, 2 tbspns honey, 1 tbspn oil, 1 cup starter to bowl. To scoop the starter, dip the measuring cup into the small bowl of water first, to prevent sticking. 2. Process for 20 seconds. 3. Add some icewater slowly while processing until the dough becomes a ball. Stop adding icewater and process for 30 seconds. The ball will go round and round. 3. While processing, add more icewater until a slushy sound is made and stop just as the ball turns into a batter and falls to the bottom of the bowl and perhaps wraps around the blade. 4. Scrape the dough (almost a batter at this point) into the large oiled bowl. Dip your spoon, scooper or hands into the small bowl of water before you touch the dough each time to prevent sticking. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 so you have all the dough in the bowl. 6. Fold the dough a few times with your watered hands. Do this by wetting your hand, pulling one end of the dough (roughly 1/3 of the total dough) to stretch the dough and lift up. Fold over the remaining 2/3 mass of the dough. Immediately cover and refrigerate at least overnight. The dough can keep this way for a few days. 7. When ready to continue, take the dough out and set it at cool room temperature 70F - 72F. Fold every hour the first 3 or 4 hours using the above folding method. This will be easy as the dough is very cold, then may get a bit more difficult as it warms up, then becomes easier again as the dough assumes more of a plastic quality. Don't worry about losing some dough on your hands...that's okay. 8. Eventually, sometimes 4 to 8 hours later, the dough will have doubled in volume. 9. Remove the dough onto a floured surface and prepare to proof. If making a big loaf, line a round colander with a tea towel and rub rice flour liberally into the tea towel. 10.Put bread flour liberally around the perimeter of the mass of dough in the bowl. "Pour" the dough onto a floured board or countertop, using your fingers to move the dough away from the surface of the bowl with minimum manipulating or squeezing of the dough. The dough will now be on the floured countertop 11.Work the dough to create a loaf by introducing surface tension into it. Lift the dough and put it into the colander lined with the rice-floured towel. I put the colander back into the oiled bowl and cover the whole thing. 12.Proof for a few hours. You want it to expand but not to double. Heat oven for 1 hour at 550F with a stone in it and a cast iron pot on the bottom. Turn a large cookie sheet over and line the upside down cookie sheet with parchment paper. 13.Carefully dump the dough from the colander onto the parchment lined cookie sheet. Remove the towel -- there should be no sticking even for a very slack dough. 14.Slash the proofed dough. Open the oven and carefully slide the dough and parchment paper onto the stone. Put 1 cup hot water into the cast iron pot BEING CAREFUL OF HOT STEAM and close the oven. Repeat this in 2 minutes. 15.Turn the heat down to 425F and bake for about 15 or 20 minutes. Open the oven and use a spatula to lift the loaf a bit and use your hands or a tongs to pull the parchment paper out of the oven so the loaf is now resting bare on the stone. It should release and if not, try in a few minutes. 16.Bake the loaf to internal temperature of 200F - 205F and remove and cool thoroughly before slicing.
