The Circle Bakery's Sourdough Workshop

Making sourdough bread is an art and can be an expression of creativity for you. It doesn't take a lot of specialized tools; you likely have many tools to utilize while making sourdough loaves in your kitchen already! 

Here are a few items I find helpful to have that are specialized for sourdough bread mixing:

• Dough Whisk
• Bread Banneton Basket - Single; Set of Two
• Kitchen Scale
• Larger Quantities Kitchen Scale

There are some necessary tools needed to help you execute the baking process of making a great loaf of sourdough. Here are some of my baking tool recommendations:

• Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven
• Amazon Cast Iron Dutch Oven 
• Roasting Pan
• Instant Read Thermometer
• Heat Resistant Oven Mitts - these heavy duty mitts have been my favorites while working with the hot oven temps for sourdough
• Silicone Bread Sling - this helps save on parchment paper usage
• Bread Scoring Lame 

I am a self-taught sourdough baker; I've consumed hours of online content and read through many sourdough books. You can start in your library; in fact, I requested the first book on this recommendation list at our public library and gained so much information from it that I bought it for myself after knowing it was a book I could consistently reference! 

• Artisan Sourdough Made Simple by Emilie Raffa
• New World Sourdough by Bryan Ford
• The Perfect Loaf by Maurizio Leo
• Bread Baking for Beginners by Bonnie Ohara - this one isn't all sourdough based, but was instrumental in me learning about temperatures and the foundations of bread making
