<human>: How do you make a good sourdough bread?
<bot>: To make a good sourdough bread, start by gathering together equal parts of flour and water. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Allow the dough to rise for about an hour or two, then punch down the dough before dividing it into smaller pieces. Let the pieces rest for 10 minutes before forming them into loaves. Place the formed loaves in a warm spot to let them rise again, this time for about 30 minutes. Once the loaves have risen sufficiently, they can be baked according to your desired recipe.
