Story: Sourdough is something that I ate from little and the smell of fresh bread coming the oven brings me back so many memories. I only started learning making it 5 years ago and got a real passion about it. The feel of the dough and baking a loaf is something very addictive. Nothing beats a fresh loaves with cultured butter.

Tips: If you think you made something wrong with the dough, always cook it and see the result. You can be surprise how good can a bad batch turn up and the smell should give you some motivation for the next batch.

Enjoy!
