I’m sure there are things you could do to improve the steaminess of your oven beyond a pan of boiling water. But I suspect you’ll get the most bang for your buck by just covering the baking dish.

I had no idea there was such a thing as a sourdough library, but there is! Found in Belgium, home of some of the finest fermentation on earth (Belgian beer, I’m talking about Belgian beer), it seems only fitting. Visit the Atlas Obscura article here!

If you’ve never used a dough whisk, you may think the title of this post is hyperbole. I swear it really isn’t.

Sourdough doesn’t have to be a complicated all-day project! This almost no-knead sandwich bread can fit into a busy weekday schedule with no problem.
