Living with Bread

Modern life does not lend itself very easily to baking bread, but we have endeavoured to make the process as simple as possible. Once you have taken the time and trouble to make the sourdough starter, you have a living thing on your hands, which does require a little looking after. We recommend you make enough bread to last you through the week (sourdough lends itself to this), which means you need only feed the starter once a week and leave it in the fridge for the rest of the time (see Sourdough Starter). Weekends are a good time to bake bread. You can make this bread by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook, and bake it in a bread tin. At Moro we use bread baskets, but this is not so practical at home.
