She made it seem SO easy and I promise it really was! I can't wait to hear how your bread turns out! And gluten goodness is right ... this is the best/most dangerous skill I've ever learned, LOL

Ooo that bread looks delish!! I've been asking my sister for her sour dough starter, but I don't have a dutch oven...thinking of putting it on the registry ;) Will have to bookmark that recipe. Hope you have the most restorative 2 wks and fun with with the fam - much deserved!!

Sourdough is next on my list, but I don't know how to make starter or where to find it ... that's super intimidating! Yes, definitely register for a Staub or Le Crueset Dutch oven ... there's a million ways to use it beyond bread. 5.5 quarts is a good size.

I took a sourdough class about 6 years ago and they gave us some starter. I have been feeding that thing ever since. When we moved out of state, I actually put it in a cooler on my front seat and treated it like it was the Hope Diamond during the entire 2-day drive!

Not too long ago I thought I finally killed my starter, so I order a dehydrated version from here (https://wildoakfarmsmo.com/products/dehydrated-sourdough-starter) and it was super easy to get going.

Thanks for the reco! I'd have my sister send it to you, but I'm not sure how it well it will travel cross country - LOL. Maybe a good idea for a roundup!

Yes, love this so much! I started baking my own bread a few years back and haven't turned back - it is so much easier than people make it out to be! Sourdough isn't that challenging either if you get started with a good starter. If you are interested in trying it out, recommend this recipe - its been foolproof for me! https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-knead-sourdough-bread-recipe
