Making sourdough bread at home doesn't have to be complicated. I've taken the commercial method and adapted it for home use.  My students love this easy method; I can guarantee you will too.   These are the only recipes you'll need.

      The basics of sourdough and a bit of geeky stuff

      If you're like me, knowing some of the geeky stuff helps cement what is going on, so I can make my own decisions along the way.  Although this method is so simple, you don't really have to know a lot. 

      There is a lot of information on the net that isn't necessary for making great Sourdough.  

      I make bread every couple of days with this method.  I find this simple routine easier than making bread with commercial yeast.

                            About Starters and Three Different Starter Recipes To Choose From

                            A mature starter is a beautiful thing. It takes a month or so to have one unstoppable.  LOL, Once you have a mature starter up and running, they're pretty hard to kill. 

                            My method means you don't have to feed your starter every day.  In fact, you only have to feed it once you've used some.  Less mess, discard and stress.  Too easy

                                                                  This method is so simple you don't have to dirty your bowl and blades.  I think you'll love it!
