No-Fancy-Tools Sourdough Bread

Recipe by Amira | Sourdough Mama

A simple, beginner-friendly sourdough loaf that requires no scale, thermometer, Dutch oven, or stretch-and-fold technique. Just water, starter, flour, salt, a fork, and a loaf pan—plus a bit of patience for bulk fermentation and an overnight cold retard.

Critical Success Points

  • Bulk fermentation until dough nearly doubles in size
  • Scoring just before baking

Safety Warnings

  • Score the bread with a sharp knife; keep fingers clear of the blade.
  • Do not leave dough unattended in a very warm kitchen for extended periods.
