Everyday Sourdough Bread
A foolproof, mild, and creamy loaf powered by a stiff starter (pasta madre).
Welcome back to Some Flavour! If you caught our previous post, “Meet the Lady of the House,” you already know all about Jane Dough, my stiff starter.
Now that Jane is fed, happy, and rising reliably in her jar, it’s time to put her to work on the bake she was made for: The Everyday Sourdough Loaf.
If you’ve ever found traditional sourdough a bit too sour, acidic, or frustratingly sticky to handle, this recipe is designed to change your mind. Because stiff starters favour lactic acid bacteria over harsh acetic acid, this loaf rewards you with a creamy, buttery flavour profile and a tender crumb.
