I use Forkish pain the campagne.

400g flour (380 ap and 20 whole wheat)

310g water (tempered)

180g levain (Active)

10g Salt

2g Active Dry Yeast

If wanted 10g sugar, whatever else you like in there.

I use that for boule, pain and baguette, just change temp and

perhaps what you put on the surface.

Here you can see quite a few examples of his brilliant doughs

I like Chad Robertson's Tartine method, I think you can find it on NYTimes.

Yes.. I agree with Nico. Go out and get the book or google Tartine sourdough. It is super easy and requires only water, flour and time. I have had my same starter going for about 4 years now. The poor thing is often neglected. But, after a few feedings, its good to go!

I would second that - Chad Robertson's Tartime Bread will give you the bread closest to the real thing!

I think Flour Water Salt Yeast is probably better than Tartine for someone relatively inexperienced with bread making.

I would read both though.

You might find this a good way to start.

Solid recipes for this at kingarthurflour.com/recipes/sourdough and there is a bakers hotline that would answer your questions. They never fail.

I just baked my first loaf of the basic country bread from Tartine. very easy to follow as Chad does a great job with instructions/photos. I definitely recomend.

Many thanks for all the comments/advise and tips

I am based in England between London and Cambridge so I am unable to purchase some of the stuff available to you guys in the US of A.But we do have Wholefoods!

We just returned from our summer holiday in San Sebastián in northern Spain and whilst we where there I ran into a guy from a local bread shop called The Loaf and i spent an hour with him discussing bread and was invited to watch the bakers in action.

These guys are incredable and are not in it for the money?

They just want to make good bread.( no pun intended )

The shop's link is:

The Documentary they did is here:

well worth watching and its the guy on the right at the start who i met.

Are you interested in the bread recipe or in how to make your own starter? I've got some procedures from Richard Bertinet's Crust that I can pass along. It's actually a fairly simple recipe (and doesn't use any weird ingredients), it just takes a fairly long time (and some warmish temperatures). I used it as part of a class, so I've got a few data points just by having seen my students try it out. Not sure if it counts as "tried and trusted," though :P

I have a starter and just wanted a simple recipe.

Brian_160765

Hmmm... Every sourdough recipe/formula is very close to the same.

600g of Bread flour

400/420g water

10/12g of salt

That basic recipe recipe has not changed for 2000 years.

How you mix it, proof it, shape it, score it and bake it... Is the key to making a good loaf of bread.
