Learning Outcome

Certainly most of my students when they start baking sourdough get frustrated when they get good results one day and not another. I get a phone call or an email to ask why is it that my loaf is not turning out the way I want it too. More often than not when I ask about specifics they cannot remember, the essential details that mean I can suggest where they are going wrong, especially when they are baking just once a week.
