Knead to Know

It's common when learning something new and expansive to have a lot o questions along the way. This is the how and why section to help make sense of all the seemingly complex details of bread making. Rest assured you will stretch and grow just as does your bread dough, and before you know it, you will know all you knead to know. Please note that the information you find here is generally true for all bread, sourdough or otherwise, and for all starters that are more liquid than solid in nature, not just the recipes you find on this site.

All of the recipes are written for best results but that does not mean you can't get a great loaf of bread if you're missing a few ingredients. Bread at it's core is simply flour, water, wild yeast and salt. Below I have composed what I hope will give you an idea of how to manage these recipes , and honestly any bread recipe, should you need to leave out or substitute an ingredient.
