03 Use the right flour
04 Temperature and yeast
05 To knead or not to knead
06 Prescribed rising times
01
To ensure a good lift and a beautiful outer crust, you’ll want to start with strong flour, water, salt, & levain.
02
Always store your baking ingredients in a dry place at room temperature. Never refrigerate.
03
Get whole wheat & bread flour. They are a perfect fit specifically for making artisan sourdough bread!
04
Make sure your liquid is between 95 degrees F and 115 degrees F when adding to yeast.
05
Leavened breads usually don’t require kneading, while high-hydration bread benefits from some 'stretch and folds.'
06
Follow the prescribed rising time. Use a timer. Too long and you might have a sour-tasting loaf or a dry bread with abundance of holes!
