I'm a regular baker so I felt confident enough to try sourdough even though it was my very first bread making attempt. The instructions for this recipe, along with one for creating your own starter was extremely straightforward and easy to follow. The advise about this being more of an art than a science was one I kept in mind and as a result did not add all the flour as the dough didn't seem to require it. I baked half the dough in a loaf pan and the other rolled out into a baguette. Bread turned out great and am seriously thinking from now on to make my own bread weekly because of this recipe. The sourdough starter should continue to age and hopefully motivate me to keep up the effort weekly. Thank you!
