Prior to going to pastry school, I’d never tried making sourdough, although I had read books about it. Intimidated by the terminology, flours, feeding schedules, shaping techniques and knowing, I never took the time or had the courage to dive in.

During pastry school I worked with yeasted bread until I could make it in my sleep. But it was naturally leavened sourdough that continued to mystify me. Only having a few opportunities in school to work with it, I never really gained the hands on knowledge I’d anticipated. So, I continued to read about it, gleaning little nuggets that would some day make me the bread baker I wanted to be.

A friend of a friend offered some sourdough starter, knowing my interest. I promptly killed it after attempting sourdough again. Then, I carried some of my mom’s starter back to Whidbey with me after a visit to Texas. 

I persisted, yet… 

I couldn’t quite get the dough to its fluffy pillowy softness, the crumb to its tender-chewy texture, or the crust to its crusty bliss as I had tasted, seen in books, on Emilie’s blog and bakeries. 

I tried again, still not producing the loaf of my dreams. Why is this SO hard?

I gave up sourdough baking early last winter with the hopes of starting again this fall.

Enter Emilie Raffa’s new book Artisan Sourdough Made Simple. When I heard she was publishing a book on her sourdough method, I knew it would be my best chance yet to finally learn how to make the perfect loaf. I’ve been following Emilie’s blog, The Clever Carrot, for a while now. You may remember I introduced her first cookbook on the blog last year (I know, right?). 

Her recipes, writing and photography draw me in, making me feel as if I’m in the kitchen with her. Practical, and not fussy, her writing nudges and encourages me along in the process.

After diving into sourdough again using Emilie’s through and approachable new book and in a short period of time, I can confidently say,

I am a sourdough baker.

You can do it too!

Emilie's Everyday Sourdough

**Advanced Prep Required - you'll need a sourdough starter** New to sourdough or simply improving your craft? Emilie's Everyday Sourdough from her book Artisan Sourdough Made Simple is a fabulous starting point for new sourdough bakers or simply to hone your sourdough skills. vegan (Recipe reprinted with permission). 

Bakers Schedule:

1. Thursday-Saturday: Feed your starter until bubbly and active. 2. Saturday Evening: Make the dough and let rise overnight. 3. Sunday Morning: Shape the dough, let rise again, score and bake. 

Servings 1 loaf
Author by Emilie Raffa via Vanilla And Bean

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C (50g) Sourdough Starter
  • 1 1/3 C + 2 Tbs (350g) Warm Water about 80f (26c)
  • 4 C (500g) Bread Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In the evening, whisk the starter and water together in a large bowl with a fork. Add the flour and salt. Combine until a still dough forms, then finish mixing by hand to fully incorporate the flour. The dough will feel dense and shaggy, and it will stick to your fingers as you go. Scrape off as much as you can. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes. Replenish your starter with fresh flour and water, and store according to preference. 

    After the dough has rested, work the mass into a fairly smooth ball. To do this, grab a portion of the dough and fold it over, pressing your fingertips into the center. Repeat, working your way around the dough until it begins to tighten, about 15 seconds. 

  2. Bulk Rise: Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rise overnight at room temperature. This will take about 8-10 hours at 70F (21C). The dough is ready when it no longer looks dense and has doubled in size. (Traci's Note: Mine generally takes 12-13 hours to rise, but I have a chilly kitchen!).

  3. Shape: In the morning, coax the dough into a lightly floured work surface. To shape it into a round, start at the top and fold the dough over towards the center. Turn the dough slightly and fold over the next section of dough. Repeat until you have come full circle. Flip the dough over and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, line an 8-inch (20cm) bowl with a towel (or use a banneton) and dust with flour. With floured hands, gently cup the dough and pull it toward you in a circular motion to tighten its shape. Using a bench scraper, place the dough into the bowl, seam side up. 

  4. Second Rise: Cover the bowl and let rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The dough is ready when it looks puffy and has risen slightly but has not yet doubled in size. 

    Preheat the oven to 450F (230C). Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit the size of your baking pot leaving enough excess around the sides to remove the bread. 

  5. Score: Place the parchment over the dough and invert the bowl to release. Sprinkle the dough with flour and gently run the surface with your hands. Using the tip of a small, serrated knife or a razor blade, score the dough with a cross-cut pattern about 1/3"  (8mm) deep and about 2-3" (5-7cm) on the top or any way you like. Use the parchment to transfer the dough to the baking pot. 

  6. Bake: Bake the dough on the center rack for 20 minutes, covered. Remove the lid and continue to bake for 30 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaf from the pot and bake directly on the oven rack for the last 10 minutes to crisp the crust. When finished, transfer to a wire rack. Cool for 1 hour before slicing. 

    Sourdough is best consumed on the same day it's baked. To maximize freshness, cool completely and store at room temperature in a plastic bag for up to one day (Traci's Note: my sourdough is generally storing for between 3-4 days.)

    • Thank you for your kind words, Gayle and hooray for getting sourdough down! You too! I just named my started… I contemplated for a while, then finally chose Claire. I’d love to hear what you name yours! We’re both just youngsters in the sourdough world.. SO much to explore!!

  15. Like you I have tried making sour dough before and been frustrated with the outcome. I would love to “get it right”.
    I was in Alaska and had the best sourdough pancakes, breads and cakes. I would like to try out other flours too since family members can not eat wheat.

  16. I have been wanting to bake sour dough bread. I really want to start from scratch and make my own starter. Your loaf looks so yummy. I look forward to this new baking adventure!

  17. I am completely intimated by baking with yeast. Which is kind of funny because I am a baker, mostly of pies, which intimate a lot of people.
    My pie journey started with a recipe in a cookbook, so I firmly believe that my bread journey may start with this book!

    Reply

    • LOL – having a strength in a specific area of pastry is not a bad thing… it makes you strong in that area. But I do believe you’d have no problem getting sourdough going, Kelly! You are incredibly skilled! You have patience for pie – then you’ll have patience for sourdough! Good luck!

  21. I love sourdough and so do my kids. Making good bread is definitely on my culinary bucket list. This would definitely give me a push in the right direction!

  23. I tried doing sourdough when I was in college. The starter kind of took over my life, well at least my apartment kitchen. And the bread just was never good. I love sourdough and I would love to be able to make it myself!

    Reply

  24. My mother used to bake with sourdough all the time, but she never made bread. I’d like to try to make bread, not just sourdough waffles and pancakes. If this winter is going to be as long as the last one in Northern California, bread is a wonderful way to keep from getting stir crazy cooped up in the house with all the rain. I’m on it!

  26. Sourdough bread! Just makes you say yummmmmmmmmmmmm! I’d like to start making some bread but am still a bit gun shy. Silly I know. :)

  28. I was intimidated by bread for many years. Then I took a bread class and became more confident. Now I want to learn about sourdough bread and master it. Sounds like Emily’s book would be excellent for me. If you ever get hold of the sourdough pancake recipe from Liz@FloatingKitchen, please pass it on!

    • It’s easy to be intimidated.. and I get it, Claudia. But see, you’re on your way! Sourdough is simply the next step in your journey! I’ll share your sentiments with Liz… I’d like to see that one too :D

  35. Traci this is BEAUTIFUL! And I need this book in my life! I received some sourdough starter from my mother-in-law back in August and I’m been baking almost weekly since— it’s my new favorite weekly ritual :)

    • I saw your sourdough on IG, Liz! It’s so meditative… and it’s better than any bread you can buy – unless you’re close to a sourdough bakery.. but still it’s even better because you made it! You’d love Emilie’s book, then!

      Reply

  37. Commercial sourdoughs that I have tried are all too mild for my taste so I guess I’m going to have to make my own to get what I want… :-)

    Reply

    • It’s time, then Michael! You know what I’ve found… depending on how long and the temperature at which the bread is fermented and/or proofed, you can tweak that sour flavor! I’ve already discovered this in a short period of time. I’ve been playing the process and it’s noticeable! For example, instead of proofing for 30 – 60 minutes at room temp, I toss it in the refrigerator overnight. This seems to have an impact on flavor – maybe slightly, but it makes a difference! Thank you for entering the giveaway, Michael!

  38. My partner and I have been talking about learning to bake bread together for a few months now. We really appreciate a good sourdough and lately have been making little spreads of sourdough, vegan cheese, nuts, olives, and fruit as an easy dinner…SO good. Enjoyed seeing you make it over the past couple weeks.. would love to try to make it myself!

    • What a fun thing to do together, Daela… learning together to hone a new craft is so rewarding! Enjoying together too… for those easy dinners! Thank you for your note on my stories.. those are fun to make (still figuring out video angles) ;) Thank you for entering the giveaway, Daela!

  44. This would be so awesome! My mom’s favorite bread is sourdough, but we don’t know anyone to give us a starter, and aren’t confident we’d be able to keep it alive if we did have one! I’ve tried some cheater sourdough recipes (with like greek yogurt) and they were good, but not quite right. It would be great to have such a good starting point as with this book and starter!

    Reply

  50. I would love to learn to make my own artisan bread and I admit I have been afraid to try on my own. My mother used to make bread when I was a kid and I miss that. Maybe it is time to start a new old tradition.

    Reply

    • A new, old tradition…. I think it’s a great idea, Jade. It intimidated me for far too long.. the best way to learn is to get in there and give it a go! Thank you for entering and good luck!

Sourdough has long been a favorite of mine but I’m not a bread baker though have always wanted to get started. Great opportunity for me, right?!

    Reply

    • Thank you, Tom! The leftover recipes ARE fabulous and make me feel better about having to ‘throw out’ the excess when feeding my starter. I hope you’ll give sourdough a go… it IS a great opportunity and her book is a fantastic place to start!

  62. YOU ARE A SOURDOUGH BAKER! What a beautiful, beautiful loaf, Traci. You are 100% absolute proof that sourdough does not have to be complicated. Just look at these photos! That crumb! I truly believe that the process can be accessible to anyone who wants to learn (and eat amazing bread, of course).

  67. Congratulation for the book. I would like to start making sourdough bread. So far, I just use active dry yeast, but sourdough is another more exciting world.

    Reply

    • You’re so right Angelica… sourdough is completely different than active dry yeast. But if you have that feeling of fully fermented dough, then that’ll help support your efforts in your sourdough journey! It IS so exciting!

      Reply

  68. Sounds like a wonderful resource! I have made sourdough a few times, and even made the starter myself, but then it died after awhile and I only ever tried one particular recipe anyways. Would love to learn more ways to use it!

    Reply

  69. OMG I would love to win a copy of her book! She is such a gem and her recipes and photos are so beautiful! Sourdough always reminds me of my grandfather who had the same starter for sourdough pancakes for as long as I could remember. It was such a treat to have those pancakes! And he lived to 101, so much have been some goodness in that starter! Lol. Glad you’re feeling confident in sourdough baking! XOXO!

    I was a sourdough baker about ten years ago but due to a long non bread baking period I somehow have lost the touch. I’d love to get back to it..

  74. Congratulations! I want to say, “I”m a sourdough baker,” too. :) I have been intimated and afraid to try. Like you I killed a starter, but of a different bread. I’m older and more determined to do it, now.
