We love that sourdough baking can be personal.
Some people like to do every step by hand. Others use a machine. Some people love the feeling of handling the dough, stretching it, folding it, and learning what it needs. Others prefer to bake the bread quickly and keep things simple.
It’s all good. You get to choose.
But for us, this is one of our favorite steps: the windowpane. When the dough stretches thin without tearing, you can see a nice, strong gluten network starting to form. That’s when we start getting excited about taking a beautiful loaf out of the oven.
