How to Make Sourdough Bread with Zoë François

Let's make sourdough bread! This simple method is a little bit like traditional sourdough and a little bit like the method in my Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbooks. It does take a bit of time and because you can't get away with a super fast method with sourdough, so let's do it together. This video starts at the point where you already have an active sourdough starter that's ready to use.

*NOTE! Before you begin with this sourdough bread, be sure to read the recipe through all the way, including the notes! The recipe is part of ZoëBakes Academy for my paid Substack subscribers! Sign up to see the whole recipe archive: https://zoefrancois.substack.com/p/zo...
