Correct Transcript:

Baking sourdough bread is a captivating journey that begins with the creation of a starter. This living mixture of flour and water needs daily feeding to stay alive and healthy. The key to a great loaf is patience; allowing your dough to ferment slowly enhances its flavour and texture. When mixing your ingredients, be sure not to over-knead, as this can lead to a dense and tough bread. After shaping, let your dough proof in a warm place until it doubles in sise. Finally, baking at a high temperature will ensure your crust is crispy and the inside stays soft and chewy.
