Sourdough definitely seems intimidating at first, but it’s so rewarding once you get the hang of it. I recommend starting with a no-knead sourdough recipe. It’s straightforward and requires minimal effort! Just be patient with your starter; it takes time to develop. Keep it fed, and it’ll reward you with amazing flavor!
I really want my first loaf to turn out well, but I know sourdough can be tricky. I’ve been watching videos and reading different methods, so if anyone has a foolproof recipe or tips on how to care for the starter, that would be amazing!
Welcome to Bake Chat For beginners, I think starting with a basic 1:1:1 ratio of flour, water, and starter can yield delicious results. Don’t stress too much on precision; each bake is a learning experience! If you have any questions, just ask! I’d love to help! Happy baking!
