Bread Making Essentials:

Regardless of what you see all over social media, the necessities to make bread at home are pretty minimal. No need for fancy scales or measuring jars. I purchased one sourdough supply kit I found on Amazon and everything else I was able to make due with what I already had in my kitchen.

The only thing you need to purchase is this Sourdough Bread Baking Supplies and Proofing Baskets. This provides the essentials that you likely won’t have lying around your house.

The key to successful bread making at home…trust your instincts! Do your research, look at multiple accounts on social media and study their methods. Most importantly, keep a close eye on the consistency of their starter and dough. Every home environment is different and will change throughout the year which means your dough’s needs will change as well. If you learn to cook by judging the consistency you will be set.

I don’t measure, ever. I do everything by feel. It took some trial and error but I got there and now it’s a simple process. Don’t be intimidated by the up front learning curve because once you figure it out it is the easiest process and you have delicious homemade bread to look forward to after.

Happy Baking!
