Frequently asked questions
What's the best flour for bread?
Strong bread flour, or a mix of plain wheat and rye. Rye adds flavor and keeps the loaf moist for longer.
What do I need for sourdough?
An active starter, good flour, water, salt, and above all time and patience. The recipes include the method and a schedule.
Why didn't my bread rise?
Usually it's not enough time or a cold kitchen — the dough needs to double in size, which can take a few hours. Also check that your yeast is fresh or your starter genuinely active.
How do I get a crispy crust?
Preheat the oven properly and bake with steam — a tray of hot water on the oven floor, or a lidded cast-iron pot. Let the finished loaf cool on a rack.
How do I keep bread fresh?
Store bread in a cloth bag or bread bin, not plastic. Rolls and baguettes are best fresh, but they freeze well too.
