On social networks we find many sourdough bread recipes, but something often fails.
When I was a beginner, it seemed like a lie! Everything I tried turned out flat, hard and sour!
But I kept trying, so that after 3 years I came to the conclusion that sourdough bread does not require recipes, but love and attention. So, in order for you to succeed, I will give you some advice
1. Don’t use the scale (never!)
2. Feed the starter as often as you can (at least 2 times a week)
3. Use good quality flour, if you don’t have natural mill flour, then make a mixture of 70% white flour and 30% wholemeal flour.
4. Use drinking water, not tap water!
5. Give as much attention and love as possible, that’s how you will be successful.
As a rule, there are no rules for this bread, it bakes beautifully both in the cauldron and without it, it is important to bake it at a temperature not lower than 220 °C
I don’t knead the dough for a long time, and stretch and fold once or
