As summer wanes and the air takes on a hint of autumn, many home bakers find themselves inspired to experiment with hearty loaves, crusty boules, or rustic batards, filling their kitchens with the warm, tangy aroma of freshly baked sourdough. The right sourdough accessories not only streamline the process, but also add a sense of ritual and satisfaction to each bake, turning a simple loaf into a true labor of love.
