Learn how to make our classic retarded sourdough. This style is typical of the style of sourdough baked in San Francisco. It is this sourness that really contributes to the digestibility and the increased bioavailability of nutrients in long, slow-fermented bread. It also happens to be flexible in the timing to bake it. This is the School’s classic sourdough formula, the one from the Sourdough School book (but with a little more water) and the one I have used for over a decade to teach beginners. I use this one because it gives reliable results and helps build confidence.
