“Every baker needs an all-purpose, go-to loaf in their repertoire. And if you’re new to sourdough, this is the perfect place to start. Simply make the dough, let it rise overnight, and bake in the morning. It requires very little effort with big reward. The crust is golden and crunchy, and the velvety crumb is perfect for sandwiches and toast.” These are the words from Emilie Raffa’s new book, Artisan Sourdough Made Simple, and I can tell you from my now very practiced experience that they are true….
Tutorial Tuesday: How to Make a Sourdough Starter
Remember when I said that this might be the year of sourdough? Well, I wasn’t lying. This week we’re talking all things sourdough: From how to make a sourdough starter to how to bake the easiest loaf of sourdough bread. This Tutorial Tuesday (a new semi-regular post that we’re offering), we’re teaching you the latter. On Thursday we’ll not only have a swell recipe for you, we’ll be doing a giveaway for my new favourite book: Artisan Sourdough Made Simple. In the meantime, let’s get started (ahem) on the starter!
