What if? Experienced sourdough bakers can make a simple country loaf by feel. This doesn’t mean you’re not a great baker if you can’t, it just means you’re probably doing the steps without really thinking about how and why. Once you’re really good at knowing what a properly fermented dough looks and feels like, you can do it over and over again. Looking only at the clock while making sourdough is like driving the way you know there’ll be more traffic… but navigation tells you that’s the way to go. I challenge you to get in touch, use your intuition, even take notes the next time you mix up a batch of dough. And OH! Don’t neglect that starter- it’s the most important key to it all.
