The perfect loaf


 

 After baking bread at home for 20 years, with the last 8 years using sourdough method, have to say this website is fantastic (theperfectloaf.com).

Very well explained, step by step, fool proof methodology, every time getting a perfect looking loaf, well risen, even size and distributed holes, and such good flavor.

Through his method, understand why our sourdough bread before had up and down in performance.

Happy to recommend to anyone who love baking bread.

The only thing is to get the optimal power from the sourdough starter you have to remove some of it everyday, just use a bit to keep feeding and growing it healthily.

For the excess starter, which is perfectly good, I can't bear to throw them away, so have to find different ways to use them up, testing my creativity!
