Olga, this is such a great reminder that sourdough doesn’t have to be fussy at all. Great job, I look forward to using this ambient method more often when I get back into it!

This is so right on is not even funny. I'd. say 95% of the the people on social media are who think they are teaching others how to make "sourdough" bread don't even know what Tartine is or who Chad Robertson is! Praise to you!!

I have been making this style bread for over 10 years and STILL can not get the crumb like you get, , not just open, I get that, but it has a resilience that eludes me.

Btw, my favorite bakery which makes variations of this style does not cold proof due to space and time constraints, yes, it is not necessary. You are so correct in so many ways in this article I can't agree more!

Thank you so much, Thomas! Your passionate comment cheered me up. I was hoping at least one person would appreciate this post.

What’s your favorite bakery? I’m always trying to learn about new bakeries, and the work they are doing.

I’m glad this post resonated with you and thanks again for reading and sharing your thoughts.
