I am a total bread baking noob but I love to eat it. Sourdough is my absolute favorite, so I need to give this a try.
I know I will need starter (I was planning on buying some online as I don’t know anyone irl), and I have a Dutch oven. Yes, there are tons of recipes online, but I want your tried-and-true ones, especially if they are suited for altitude.
Or maybe I need to read a book? If so, which one?
Basically, how do I stuff my face with homemade sourdough in the easiest way possible?
Thank you all!
What a beginner needs is not so much a recipe, but the perseverance to practice until you learn proper technique.
Almost everyone makes a few bad loaves before they figure out what works.
That being said, a good basic recipe is this one: https://www.pantrymama.com/how-to-bake-simple-sourdough-bread/
If you want my recipe, it’s linked in some of my recent bread posts, but a bit complicated for a beginner.
You don’t need to buy starter if you can wait a couple weeks to make one. Just need flour, water, jars and patience.
