Who this sourdough journal is for
This journal is for home bakers making sourdough bread, from beginners nursing their first starter to experienced bakers chasing the perfect open crumb. It suits weekend bakers, families who bake every week and anyone who has wondered why yesterday's loaf turned out so differently from today's. Sourdough depends on starter activity, hydration, temperature and timing, and careful notes are the fastest way to understand your dough and bake consistently great bread.
How to use your sourdough journal
Fill in your starter profile with flour, ratio and its name if you like. Record feedings and how the starter rose on the feeding log. Log every bake with flour, hydration, timings and kitchen temperature. Plan bake day on the schedule. Work out formulas with baker's percentages. Save recipes on recipe cards, rate each loaf, track flour inventory, collect discard ideas and note fixes in troubleshooting.
