Summary
These are some great resources for people who want to get started making sourdough. The book Tartine Bread by Robertson is the bible. Chad is the person who brought back naturally leavened artisan bread techniques to the US and runs the well-respected Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, LA, and Seoul.
Some of these links are from Instagram. You don’t have to have an account or follow the person to view and read comments. You can just go to it in the web browser.
Kristen Dennis (Full Proof Baking)
Kristen’s Instagram is the source of most of her content. Everything can be found there as posts or from the links in her bio (“Her links” below). While she is not very active right now, she posts a lot of her recipes, techniques, and descriptions in the comments of her posts. I find her to very easy to follow. I would probably start with her YouTube videos on building a strong Sourdough Starter and then try out her Basic Sourdough video.

Maurizio Leo (The Perfect Loaf)
There is a lot of overlap between Maurizio and Kristen. I find Maurizio to be more technical but his web site format might be an easier reference for some. He just came out with a cookbook in 2024 too.
