About
Learn how to maintain sourdough starters and how to prep and bake a sourdough boule. A boule (French for "ball") is a free-form artisan loaf of bread shaped like a squashed ball.
You'll also make two sourdough discard recipes. A sourdough discard is the "leftovers" or excess starter. You'll take notes in your journal and enjoy the fruits of your labor with homemade side dishes prepared while dough rises.
