If you've been wanting to bake your first sourdough loaf but don't know where to start — this video is for you. I'm walking you through my personal recipe and process from beginning to end, breaking down every important step so you actually understand why you're doing what you're doing.
In this video I cover:
🌱 Why your starter is everything — and how to know it's strong enough
🤲 Stretch & folds — what they do and how to do them
⏱️ Bulk fermentation — the most important phase and how to read the signs that it's done
🧊 Cold proofing — I skip it for this loaf, but I explain what it is and when you'd use it
