I'm here to speak out against subpar bread.
—it gets the job done for less than $20. Another huge game changer in sourdough bread baking is making sure your sourdough starter is mature and active before you start to bake. It should be frothy and at least doubled in volume since its last feeding. Some of my biggest sourdough disappointments can be chalked up to baking with a starter that isn’t quite at its peak.
Finally, when baking, it’s important to remember that not all flours are created equal. While it’s possible to bake with whatever is available, I always look for unbleached flours, and use organic when possible. This makes a huge difference, especially when feeding a sourdough starter. In my experience, making a starter with highly processed bleached flour creates something more along the lines of Elmer’s Glue or sour milk than the sourdough starters you’ll see in high-quality bakeries.
