Your Next Quarantine Baking Project You don’t have to visit the corner bakery for a good loaf of sourdough. It’s easier to make at home than you’d expect, especially when you use this Test Kitchen trick for simpler sourdough. The secret? Having the sourdough rise two different ways.Traditional sourdough bread uses only sourdough starter culture, a natural yeast. It yields a rich flavour. But natural leavening is much fussier than commercial yeast. It takes more time. The temperature has to be just right, and so does your starter culture.
