STEP 1 It all starts with the starter (it’s what make sourdough so unique). It begins as a simple mixture of flour and water that is allowed to sit for a few weeks in a glass jar. Over the weeks, remove a bit of the mixture and add more flour and water.

STEP 2 Time to make the dough. Take about 10 g of your starter and mix it together with more flour and cool water. This is what’s called the pre-ferment, and you’ll need to let it sit at room temperature, covered with a towel, for 8-12 hours.

STEP 3 Add the rest of the ingredients and bring the dough together. “Sourdough is pretty much just flour, water, and salt. But from this simple combination you can make really unique breads,” says Salli. We stirred in sunflower seeds, but you can add your personal favourites.

STEP 4 “With a loaf pan you won’t have to worry about the shape of the bread and it will come out neat every time.” Give the sides a thin coating of olive oil and dust them with flour to keep the dough from sticking to the pan.
