Hey all,

I’ve seen a lot of these posts pop up on my front page and it’s honestly made me want to try getting into the hobby, however I tend to jump into hobbies neck deep and drop them shortly after. Is there any way to test the waters without going down the rabbit hole? It seems like you need a lot of equipment and experience to get the best results.

Another thing is that I tend to dislike store bought sourdough as I’ve found most of it to be too tangy/sour. Do all sourdoughs taste like this, or would it be fairly easy to control when making your own bread?

Edit: sorry, I should clarify. I’m specifically talking about sourdough. I’ve baked bread before (though it’s been a long time) but most of the really good looking breads here have been sourdough.
