Who doesn’t love bread?
During Covid, like everyone else I decided to learn how to build a sourdough starter and make beautiful loaves of bread. Well, that was the thought anyways. I bought 50 pounds of bread flour, all purpose flour and whole wheat flour. I bought big bins to keep in my kitchen while I jumped in with both feet (and hands). There were SO many fails! Whaat? I used to make such beautiful yeasted breads, however this was not the case with sourdough at all.
Ey yi yi, no one ever told me about the HUGE learning curve there was to creating beautiful sourdough bread. Sourdough is a finicky girl until you get to know her…and it takes a LONG time to get to know her. The starter, the bulk fermentation, the proofing, the scoring, etc.,etc. I am 5 years in now and am finally getting to the point where I am getting good consistent results that I can count on.
Thankfully the internet with all of its flaws gives us so many opportunities to learn and I have learned from some wonderful bakers on Instagram and the links that they have shared. When my brain isn’t so tired, the next time I bake bread, I will share some of the links that really helped me along the way.
Why is my brain tired you may ask? I feel like I am on that same HUGE learning curve again learning how to use WordPress for blogging. I am so thankful that I was able to find a method to preserve the 20 plus years of blog posts from when I first started. Finding a program that I know is going to be so much easier in the long run with WordPress has helped me to become excited about sharing my small corner of the world again with you. I’m not going to lie though, the brain drain learning the ins and outs has been huge..LOL.
Thank you for hanging in there with me all these years and hopefully many more years to come!
