Planning is the key to successful sourdough, and I can’t emphasis enough that five minutes planning is the key difference between bakers who make incredible loaves consistently and bakers who are a bit hit and miss. I recommend in my books that all sourdough bakers wanting to improve to keep a record of each bake; it helps to build up a pattern, from which you can better understand how your sourdough behaves. With this kit you can do just that – plan, schedule, record, analyse and taste your bakes. Designed to be used with any sourdough recipe, by any baker.
