Approachable Artisan Loaf

Regardless of your sourdough experience if you’re looking for a beginner friendly, straight forward recipe for an approachable artisan loaf, I’ve got you covered.

While this may not be the last recipe you ever bake (it could easily be however!) but it is a wonderful place to get started.

Some notes for this recipe:

  • It is written in grams because it is the most accurate way I’ve found to get quality and consistent results. I strongly encourage using a food scale like this one when baking.

  • While I find the language easy to understand with a bit of SD baking under my belt I created a beginner friendly terms guide you can use for further clarity.

  • The baking instructions call for a dutch oven. That is what I use and what is largely popular when baking artisan loaves. It is however, not a requirement. Baking can be adjusted in standard loaf pans, an open baking method*, pullman loaf pans and more. Do what you’re comfortable and prepared with!

Happy baking ♥
