Easy tutorial for making sourdough bread

I am very fond of Eric from Breadtopia who gave me the inspiration to making a sourdough starter and bake sourdough breads and pizzas. I discovered the Fresh Loaf a little while later.

He just produced a nice video showing how to make a sourdough bread start to finish.

In the video he doesn't measure the amounts of water, flour, sourdough precisely which may take the fear out of people who abhor scales, digital or otherwise. He makes it look quite easy which I find encouraging for people who want to start out. He uses a flour mill but clearly states that this is not necessary. He likes baking in a cloche but I'm sure it could be modified to a steaming method. Take a look.
