Claire Saffitz is back for another round of Try This at Home, a series where she guides you through different baking projects and techniques. Today’s lesson is on sourdough bread. You’ll need to find a starter, invest in some essential equipment, and set aside three days, but the end result — gorgeous sourdough loaves like the ones you may have seen on social media — is totally worth it.
