I’ve been hemming, hawing, and chawing about whether to reveal my secret San Diego sourdough recipe for the Handmade audience. Then I remembered the “audience” is made up of a few people who stumbled onto the site looking for something else, the Google searchbot, and some spammers from Singapore, so I feel my secret will be kept safe.
Yeah, I know the chances of someone making it are slight, but I maintain hope. Plus, if you’re learning from my mistakes you’ll pick up on all the problems on the recipe and post scathing comments on the board. Please post comments, I need something to read other than the J Crew catalogs and Max and Ruby books that litter our house.

I thought it would be funny if the recipe was this:
San Diego Sourdough:
Ingredients:
Flour
Water
Salt
Mix in a bowl. Bake until Golden Brown.
That’s why this bread has stymied me for the last year–easy on paper and complex in variables. At least that’s the excuse I use.
