I am a total bread baking noob but I love to eat it. Sourdough is my absolute favorite, so I need to give this a try.

I know I will need starter (I was planning on buying some online as I don’t know anyone irl), and I have a Dutch oven. Yes, there are tons of recipes online, but I want your tried-and-true ones, especially if they are suited for altitude.

Or maybe I need to read a book? If so, which one?

Basically, how do I stuff my face with homemade sourdough in the easiest way possible?

Thank you all!

    i noobed it once from scratch in a different, easier climate. but you can pull it off, just keep that baby warm and happy and covered up when you aren’t feeding it. my partner was confused why I was so preoccupied with the bubbling bowl I kept on top of the fridge.

    ‘‘I have billions of new friends! who will help me eat delicious bread!’’ was apparently not the way to sway my vegetarian partner, who, we can say, was science illiterate.
