Sourdough Batard
Sourdough Batard: built around bread flour and water -- the method starts by mixing the flour.
A crackly-crusted, open-crumbed loaf with the deep flavor only time can give. Here it's built on bread flour, water and active sourdough starter -- a advanced, bakery recipe that starts by mixing the flour, and is ready in roughly 45 minutes.
A 45-minute cook time that's mostly hands-off simmering or roasting.
A more involved technique that rewards patience with real depth of flavor.
Built around bread flour, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.
