Herman and I: a sourdough story
Recently I was overcome by a desire to accelerate my bread baking to the next level. Ok, I say ‘my bread baking’ like I’ve been honing my doughy designs for ages, whereas if I’m honest, I’d had a go at baking one simple white loaf and a few hot crossed buns at Easter. But I’d...
