It tastes so good! I’ve kept a sourdough starter around for like 3 years now and made a few things but never a proper sourdough bread, had some vacation time recently and decided to eat that frog. It turned out so well! Just wanted to share my happy, hope y’all are doing ok

    Probably you need a scale in the beginning.
    Can’t think of any subject where theproportions and ‘right’ procedures vary so much in each recipe.
    It drove me mad.
    A lot of those are really anal about the smallest detail, “your temp has to be 22.4C and you need exactly 74.257% hydration or you will fail miserably!”
    Turns out it’s not that necessary to be precise and more about feeling which you learn from experience.
    Much more relaxed and fun.
    Also quit the round shape.
    2 breads in tins are more practical to prove and bake at the same time.
    Doesn’t have to be a work of art with a perfect lip to post on instagram.
    Just good no BS bread.

      Thanks, my airbnb didn’t have anything to measure, so it did it completely by eye and feeling. Just got home yesterday and brought my starter with me, so definitely going to try again with better tools.
