For those of us working in tech, it can be extremely satisfying to bake your own bread. I did that a few years ago, starting from scratch, making my own sourdough starter, and baking daily. It's rediscovering what a typical family did centuries ago. Your starter becomes a pet. I had to stop it due to a lot of travel, but I still have a packet of my starter vacuum sealed and frozen.

We rarely buy bread at the store anymore.

Yes. My bread never lasted long enough to reach the room temp.

I’m from Australia, and this site uses a weird imperial mix and metric measurements.

Weights are in grams, but temperature is in fahrenheit (I think, doesn’t actually say).

Please use one measurement system make it consistent, as well as switchable. Thanks.
