* Make sure your Sourdough Starter is active and bubbly before using it in this recipe. If your starter is sluggish, feed it and wait until it's ready to use.
* If you don't have Sourdough Starter, you can make your own or use a store-bought sourdough starter mix.
* This recipe makes one large loaf, but you can easily divide the batter into three smaller mini loaves for a more rustic presentation.
* Store leftover bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
