Sourdough baking is as much art as science. The method you'll read here for making sourdough starter isn't an exact match for the one you read on another site, or in a cookbook, or in your great-grandma's diary. But it's the tried-and-true method.
No expensive heirloom starters, mashed-up grapes, or mysterious rituals required — just flour, water, and a little bit of patience. Here is how to make your own sourdough starter from scratch. Easy-peasy.
If you've been looking for a Sourdough Starter Guide, this is the last one you'll ever need — straight forward and to the point for success on your sourdough journey.
From the seller: "My amazing parents were married in 1969- My father was in the Navy and they traveled all over the country, in their travels they happened to be in San Francisco and my fantastic homemaker mother decided it would be a good idea to buy a sourdough starter while she was there. She has fed and taken care of it ever since, like her third child! I always wondered what that strange concoction of stuff was in the pantry, if only I knew then how amazing that yeast really was maybe I would have appreciated the hundreds of fresh loaves of bread it provided for our family."
From the seller: "Sally is a REAL sourdough starter from San Francisco itself. She was acquired from a devious employee of the famed Parisian Bakery of San Francisco fame. The Parisian Bakery closed it's doors sometime around 2005 and has been missed in San Francisco since."
From the seller: "My journey with sourdough began around 5 years ago and I absolutely love sharing it with people! Sourdough bread has amazing health benefits and is frequently tolerated by those who have issues digesting yeast-leavened bread. It is also great for making pancakes, english muffins, waffles, and even desserts. The possibilities are truly endless."
Our take on the famous “New York Times” no-knead bread. This bread takes some time but the wonderful, crusty result is totally worth the wait!
Even if you’ve never made homemade bread or worked with yeast before, this homemade crusty artisan bread is for you. It’s the perfect beginner recipe because it only requires 4 ingredients without any special pans or mixer, there’s no kneading or complicated shaping involved, and 95% of the work is hands-off.
You could make this bread, and no other, for the rest of your baking career, and never feel cheated. It uses the sponge, or poolish, method: sort of a poor man's or woman's sourdough starter — no feedings, little pre-planning, lots of flexibility, and superb bread. If you've always wanted crusty, hole-ridden, French-style bread, this is it.
Traditional baguettes are 24 to 30 inches long and are baked in ovens that produce steam, which delays crust formation so the loaves can fully rise. This recipe reduces the length to fit in home ovens and calls for adding ice cubes to a hot cast-iron skillet to create steam.

"In many ways, the good bread we have now in the United States exists thanks to Poilâne. Poilâne bakery and the Poilâne family have revolutionized the way we think about bread, and it is deeply important that we preserve and learn from their legacy."
—Alice Waters
