Crusty Instant Pot Sourdough Bread

In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast

Add the yogurt and mix by hand until a dough is formed. If the mixture is too dry add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of yogurt.

Form a ball. Line the Instant Pot with parchment paper and place the dough ball inside. Cover with the lid on and press the Yogurt button.

Let the dough proof inside the IP until the timer displays 4 hours.

Remove the dough from the IP and lay on a floured surface. Sprinkle with baking soda and shape into a ball. Cover it with a tea towel, or set it on a floured proofer basket and cover.

In the meantime, preheat a dutch pan in the oven at 450°F for 30 minutes.

Carefully place the dough ball in the dutch pan and put the lid on.

Bake covered for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 8-10 more minutes, or until browned.

Remove from the oven and cool it on a rack.
