Everything you need to make sourdough.
hmm, one way to make sourdough.
i made my starter and refresh it with rye flour - quicker and much more consistent for me. i use a couple of old, lidl potato salad, plastic tubs for my starter and it lives in the fridge not on the counter. the only time it gets refreshed is a big tablespoonful the evening before mixing the dough
i use lidl bread flour.
my recipe is a modification of the 'tartine' recipe - happy to share if anyone wants it.
i use a danish whisk. i don't use a scraper though we have a few. and all of my mixing, stretching folding etc takes place in the bowl - i don't like hswk so why make more on the counter‽‽
i use a couple of round bannetons dusted with rice flour (non stick - unlike wheat flour)
i use a dutch oven like the 'lodge' one featured in the article that my partner bought for solar cooking - for about twenty quid on amazon.
i do have a lame but if you have a
really sharp knife it'll probably work as well.
and i made my own oven gloves - long ones because manhandling the dutch oven it can sometimes touch the forearm if you aren't careful.
and on the 'lid-free' part of the cooking i keep the bowl of the dutch oven in a wonderbag to keep it hot for the second loaf.
