I make all our bread from scratch - regular loaves, rolls, buns, pitas, tortillas, dough, etc.
I really want to try sourdough, but I have no idea where to get it. I have two friends with starters, but they live across the country. Do I just go to a bakery and buy it? It feels like a secret society lol.
Please help with my entrance into the secret sourdough society!
I can't find the specific episode (probably because they eventually re-run everything on YouTube, so it's hard to guess the seasons), but America's Test Kitchen recently did a thorough spot on sourdough starters. The closest I can find is recipes on their website, which probably served as the "source material" for the aired segment. While I don't have much personal experience, the "master plan" and "myths" articles both look solid and don't require a subscription.
