I never got into the pandemic trend of baking sourdough bread. Fussy, precise baking has never been my forte, and it took me a long time to feel any kind of confidence with yeast at all. But my nieces appear to be in a sourdough phase and seeing them bake inspired me to try my own loaf, but I went in a different direction with a perfect for autumn dark molasses bread.
