Good flour Everything begins with the flour. To get started you’ll need strong white bread flour, rye flour and strong wholemeal flour. Quality is crucial: sourdough made with basic supermarket flour will be … basic. It simply won’t look or taste anywhere near as good as loaves made with high-quality grain. The most charming thing to do, obviously, is to find your own local wheat farmers and mills and support them. Failing that, Shipton Mill is a favourite with UK bakers for producing various consistently reliable flours. Wildfarmed – or as I like to call it, Rave Flour, because it was founded by Andy Cato, 50% of Groove Armada – is increasingly popular for its regenerative backstory.
