There’s something about the rhythm of baking bread that feels like home. Every time I pull a loaf of this soft sourdough from the oven, I’m reminded that good things — the best things — take time. This recipe isn’t fancy or fussy. It’s made with simple all-purpose flour, a bubbly starter, and a little patience. It’s the kind of bread that makes the whole house smell like comfort. Around here, we slice it thick for sandwiches, toast it golden in the mornings, and turn the leftovers into the best French toast ever — especially when we use fresh eggs from our backyard hens.
