Bread is part of all our meals in Argentina (probably due to the inmense Italian and Spanish immigrants). Here in Brazil bread quality has steadily been declining so I decided to try baking our own bread. Results at first were very bad, so I studied and after extensive practicing, hacve managed to bake a decent sourdough bread :)

Caratteristiche
