Post: The Ultimate Guide to Homemade Sourdough Bread

Baking sourdough looks intimidating, but it really comes down to flour, water, salt and patience.

The basic process

1. Feed your starter until it is bubbly and active.
2. Mix the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Stretch and fold the dough every 30 minutes for a few hours.
4. Shape, chill overnight, then bake in a hot Dutch oven.

Your first loaf will not be perfect, and that is completely fine. Each bake teaches you something new.
