Sourdough baking is all about patience and flavour. With just flour, water and time, you can create bread that’s naturally airy, chewy and full of character.
The sourdough bread is a true classic. It has a golden crust, an open crumb and a deep, slightly tangy taste. The process takes time but is easy to follow – and the result is worth every minute. Serve it fresh from the oven with butter or as the base for open sandwiches.
If you love soft and airy bread, try the focaccia with sourdough. It’s baked with olive oil, herbs and flaky salt on top. The edges are crisp, the middle is soft, and every bite tastes like summer. Perfect as a side for salads, soups or pasta dishes.
For something even simpler, bake the no-knead cold-raised baguettes. The dough rests overnight in the fridge, developing a mild sourdough flavour without effort. The baguettes bake up crusty outside and tender inside – ideal for breakfast or sandwiches.
Whether you’re new to sourdough or already in love with the craft, these recipes make it easy to bake bread that feels handmade and tastes amazing.
