Sourdough Starter

There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread. A cozy warmth permeates the house as we transition from winter to spring. The patience required for sourdough is well worth the effort. The sourdough starter (or barm) recipe from Crust and Crumb by Peter Reinhart is fool-proof and reliable. It’s my go-to and produces incredible loaves. I haven’t made sourdough since moving to the PNW, so I’m eager to see how the local environment affects the baking result and flavor.
