RE: Why sourdough? Being slow makes you happy
Well, in a way sour dough saves time. The preparation of the bread is made in different stages you can integrate in your daily live: "feeding" the sour dough early in the morning, adding flour, water, salt etc. in the afternoon when you come home. Then you have time to do housework, cooking, browsing your Steem feed before you can knead (or fold) the bread again, followed by some more free time to do things before you can finally put the loaves into the oven ;)
That's true, it can save time! I think sourdough is very forgiving and gives more flexibility, even though in total it requires more time but you don't need to rush anything.
Maybe the only point when you can't leave the bread to be for hours is when it's baking in the oven. :)
