I have never been able to make bread--any homemade bread--before this recipe. I've utterly failed with getting anything to rise, using packaged yeast or not. This recipe and its starter, followed to a T with a couple of weeks of patience, worked out perfectly. Perfect crust, big holes, tangy taste. I couldn't believe it. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom about all things sourdough (I've come to love my little yeasty babies!) and for making yourselves available by phone to answer my many questions! I feel like I finally have some control over the dough and love having a little taste of San Francisco in my SC kitchen!
