Required Kitchen Tools
When baking sourdough, the right tools make the process smoother and the results more consistent:
- Mixing Bowl: A large bowl to combine your dough ingredients.
- Bench Scraper: Helps with folding and dividing dough without sticking.
- Kitchen Scale: Precision matters; measure in grams for best results.
- Dutch Oven or Cast-Iron Pot: Essential for getting that golden, crusty exterior.
- Banneton Baskets or Bowls: To proof and hold the dough’s shape.
- Clean Kitchen Towels/Plastic Wrap: For covering and resting the dough.
- Sharp Blade or Lame: To score the top of the loaves before baking.
Having these tools ready will make your sourdough journey far more enjoyable and ensure bakery-style results right from your kitchen.
