Yeah, it's just flour and water, not that deep.

Get real, Brian. Saying sourdough is just flour and water is like saying a burger is just bread and meat. You're completely missing the whole fermentation process and the wild yeast that makes it work. It takes days of feeding and caring for a starter to get that tangy flavor and bubbly texture. If it was that simple, everyone would be making perfect loaves on their first try. Why do you think so many people struggle with it?

Whoa wait, hold on. You're telling me people think sourdough is just flour and water? That's like saying a car is just metal and rubber lol.
