Brief course description
For years the holy grail of sourdough baking, here in the USA, has been an authentically “SOUR” sourdough bread, like they used to bake in San Francisco. It is so sought after that bakeries will add a substitute sour like vinegar or “sour salt” (which is citric acid). The added “fake” sour flavor tastes fake and it isn’t authentic. There’s something quite wonderful about baking a real sourdough loaf that you can make as sour as you like, or for that matter, as mild as you like.
I’ve experimented for years, going on 14 now, to get a consistent “sour” in my sourdough bread. It’s easy to get a sour bread by adding whole grains or even using all whole grains. However, to obtain a white flour San Francisco style sour loaf has been just beyond my grasp. I’ve baked plenty of sour loaves, but the consistency just wasn’t there, my bread was sour sometimes and not other times. Part of the reason is because the literature insists that you need to use low hydration, cold bulk ferment to obtain the “sour.” I never thought that was true but it held me back because I felt they must know what they’re talking about. After all, it’s in print right? 😉
So I finally went off the deep end and started experimenting with my own ideas and pre-conceived notions. And guess what? I figured it out. I can now bake a real authentic “SOUR” sourdough loaf with no more than white flour, sourdough culture, salt and water. I do have some variations from the all white loaf as well.
