How do you make a good sourdough?
assistant
To make a good sourdough, start by mixing equal parts of flour and water. Let the mixture rest for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature or up to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Add more water and flour as needed until the dough is thick and sticky. Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic before letting it rise for 2-3 hours. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down and let it rest again. After that, shape your loaf, place it on a baking sheet and let it rise one last time. Bake the bread according to the recipe instructions and enjoy!
