Natural Sourdough
Sourdough bread is a bread with a unique flavour, made from a starter. The
sourdough starter takes some preparation so the bread making needs to be
planned for in advance. There are varying methods of making a sourdough starter,
but the following is simple and effective, using ingredients you will already have for
breadmaking.

Recipe:
Sourdough Loaf
Because every sourdough starter will vary in consistency, we have given a range for
the amount of water to add to the dough. Start with the smaller amount of water
then add more, if necessary, to make a smooth, soft dough.
