How to make Sourdough

Making sourdough is a practice of patience. It’s biology, chemistry, and culinary art wrapped into one key ingredient: The Starter.

The Starter

You don't need yeast packets. You just need flour, water, and air. Wild yeast exists everywhere.

1. Mix flour and water.
2. Wait 24 hours.
3. Discard half, feed with fresh flour and water.
4. Repeat for 7 days until bubbly.

The Process

• Autolyse: Mix flour and water, let rest.
• Fold: Stretch the dough to build gluten structure instead of kneading.
• Ferment: Let it rise slowly (bulk fermentation).
• Bake: High heat. Use a dutch oven to trap steam, creating that signature crust.
