My first sourdough loaves

So since I’ve finished nursing school, I’ve needed something to do in my spare time. Let me tell you friends, if you are going to make your own sourdough starter from scratch and make the bread, you will need time. Lucky me, I found a same day bake recipe that worked wonders. I also used my starter on the 12th day( technically) I only fed at night so I fed it on the 11th day and baked on the day of the 12th when I woke up. It was an all day thing, but I got to tasty and beautiful loaves out of it.

The last slide is the recipe I followed, and I added my fix’ins after the stretch and folds.

⭐️Overall rating: 10/10

TikTok university has done it again 😂

... Read moreSourdough bread has recently gained popularity, and for good reason! It not only offers a delightful tangy flavor but also comes with health benefits such as easier digestibility and higher nutritional value than commercial bread. To create a successful sourdough starter, it’s important to use high-quality flour and maintain proper feeding schedules to cultivate wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. This process may take several days, but patience is key! For beginners, I recommend starting with a straightforward recipe that allows you to experiment with ratios and additions, like herbs or cheese, as you gain confidence. Exploring variations, such as a jalapeno and cheddar loaf or a sweet s’mores loaf, can also make your sourdough journey even more enjoyable. Don't forget the importance of using a digital scale for accurate measurements, as this can greatly impact the texture and flavor of your final product! If you're looking for inspiration, platforms like TikTok are filled with creative ideas and practical tips under trending hashtags like #sourdoughjourney and #sourdoughrecipe. As you embark on your sourdough adventure, remember that each loaf is a learning experience, so embrace the process and have fun with it!
