Minimalist Baking Equipment
To make sourdough at home, you really only need flour and water. I am a firm believer in using what you already have to create sourdough. So hopefully you have these items available:
- Jar for storage
- Bowl for mixing
- Tea Towels
- DIY Banneton: Tea Towel + Bowl
- Dough Scraper
- Sharp Knife, lame or razor blade for scoring
If you do, hurray!! If not, be creative and see how you can come up with another option.
Equipment to Splurge on
- LE Creuset Dutch Oven
- Bosch Mixer (PS save an extra $20 with my code: FLOURING)
- Grain Mill, I really love my Harvest from Nutrimill (PS save an extra $20 with my code: FLOURING)
