Last week on Dear Test Kitchen, baker and James Beard award–winning author Sarah Owens swung by the test kitchen and taught us how to start our own sourdough starters.

This week, she’s showing us the very best way to use a starter: homemade bread. Which, I know, sounds sorta intimidating. Is the recipe itself pretty long? Yeah. Does it take a lot of time? Yeah. Is most of that time totally inactive? Yeah. Does Sarah make it all seem totally doable and even, dare I say, fun? Yeah! Should you go make some bread right now? Yeah, yeah!
