Sourdough For Life

SOURDOUGH

I've had a few friends reach out, wanting to start their sourdough journey!  It's exciting to find new things to make with sourdough.  I'll be posting new recipes I try and love!  Stay tuned!

For the beginner:  

You will need a few items to get you started.  This is just a basic list, you can end up going down a rabbit hole, just a warning :)

 

 

  • Digital Scale This is so important, especially in the beginning so you can measure accurately.
  • Danish Dough Whisk  This type of whisk is very useful for mixing your dough.  Better than traditional whisks since your dough won't get caught in it.
  • Banneton Set with Bench Scraper and Scoring Tool
    • Bannetons help give your dough shape.  I prefer the oval shape as I typically bake in loaf pans.
    • The Bench Scraper is the handiest tool when you need your dough to move from one surface to another.
    • The Scoring Tool is used before you put the bread in the oven to make an "ear" or score the dough to allow the dough to expand during baking.
  • Classic Sourdough Book 
    • This book has been extremely helpful in answering all questions during learning about sourdough.  It has excellent recipes to follow as well.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
