About Baking

Baking combines measurement with observation of ingredients and dough. Sourdough adds the behavior of a living starter and a fermentation schedule. Video runtime is a poor estimate of the full time needed for a loaf.

Choose a useful starting point

Check starter preparation, ingredients, and equipment before beginning. Expect flour, temperature, and starter activity to affect the process. Use demonstrations to learn what to observe instead of assuming one timer fits every kitchen.

Build on the lessons

Keep a baking log with timing, temperature, and handling observations. Choose one change for the next loaf and compare the result carefully.
