Making the best sourdough loaf is complicated as fuck, and it’s as much art/talent as it is science. This is where I suck at it.
But dont get bogged down with complicated hydration and shit at first – just find a reliable starter recipe, grow it, and then bake a lop-sided, flatter than youd like but delicious loaf of bread.
