Well…we made it. This blog post has been a long time coming. Ever since I made my sourdough starter (it was the first week of January, by the way), I’ve attempted to make sourdough bread. Yet each time I tried it, I couldn’t seem to get it right. I read countless blogs and articles, watched hours of YouTube videos, and for some reason would still end up with bread that had a gummy texture and barely risen. And then…a lightbulb went off in my head. I realized the mistake I was making, and from then on, I’ve made beautiful loaves ever since. Are you ready to learn what that “lightbulb” is? Then let’s dive into this long-awaited tutorial on how to make sourdough bread.
