My favorite mixing bowl for sourdough. It’s simple and inexpensive

These are SO helpful when letting dough bulk ferment

Ingredients
You need a flour with high protein content and this is one of my favorites
King Arthur Flour Unbleached Bread Flour
A good option for a starter if you don’t want to make your own
Classic Fresh Sourdough Starter
Another good starter option if you want to try a dehydrated route!
Eve - Organic Dehydrated Sourdough Starter
This will be used to fold your dough, shape your dough and to dust your dough if you prefer that loaf when baking. This flour will not add flour content to your dough which is very important
