It’s not my first time baking bread or even sourdough, for that matter. But, I hadn’t had a good starter for a very long time, and even then, it yielded good bread, but with the addition of yeast.

The short of it is, I wanted to get back to baking sourdough. The long of it is, I had other books, other blogs, stalked beautiful images of sourdough on Instagram and it was all so technical. I really just wanted to have a starter to feed, and bake bread without having to know exact hydration, for instance. I just wanted to bake bread with a sourdough starter.

This book, Wild Bread, was exactly what I was looking for. And I’m going to share my experience with it, in a series of hopefully, short posts.

And, then, I’ll share a simple method I’ve used over and over. I’ll try to share measurements for those of you who like to measure and I’ll share the size of my hand, for those of you who like to throw in a handful of this or that!
