A collection of tips and useful information on everything related to sourdough baking:
Discover the fascinating world of flours and their significant role in creating the perfect sourdough bread! Understanding the different types of flour is essential for achieving that ideal balance of flavour, texture, and structure in your sourdough loaves.
Incorporating seeds and nuts into your sourdough bread adds delightful flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Seeds like sesame, poppy, flax, and sunflower, and nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and pecans bring unique tastes and a satisfying crunch to the loaf.
Salt plays a crucial role in breadmaking, enhancing flavor, regulating yeast activity, and improving texture. Adding the right amount of salt during mixing ensures a well-balanced and delicious sourdough loaf.
Water is a key element in sourdough baking, influencing both the dough's texture and the final bread's characteristics. Its primary role is to hydrate the flour and activate the fermentation process with the sourdough starter.
Looking after your sourdough starter is essential to maintaining its health and ensuring successful bread baking. To keep your starter active and vibrant, it's crucial to feed it regularly. By showing your starter consistent care and attention, it will become a reliable partner in your sourdough baking journey!
