@thesourdoughmama: Turns out ‘half ass and rushin’ fast’ WORKS! 😍 If you’ve been following along in my stories with all my experiments, then you know this was a very abnormal bake for me! I baby my dough, starter, and the whole process. I love to 🥹 but for this bake, I was short on time, really wanted bread and knew I wouldn’t be able to give my normal TLC to it but I thought-what a great experiment! 🤣 Here’s what I half assed and rushed fast on: 1) My starter had been in the fridge for many days and only got 1 feeding prior to the bake. 2) My starter was well over its peak by a few hours. I try to catch it right as it’s falling. 3) I mixed salt in right away instead of waiting. I like to wait as a norm since salt can dehydrate the yeast/bacteria cells and slow down their activity. 4) My stretch and folds were all over the place, with no pattern, rhyme or reason 😅 I had some father into the process than I like. These are all things I try to avoid and yet-JUST LOOK! She turned out so well. Her crumb is wild. And the bread was delicious! A win for sure. I won’t stop babying my bakes anytime soon or change my teaching methods-because I believe in equipping learners with the best process for success, but this is a good reminder that sourdough can be adapted to work for YOU! 🥰 Ps Epic graphic at the end comes from the one and only @Jenny 😍👏🏻 She saw my experiment and sent me this sweet little surprise! Who thinks I need it on a mug!? #experiments #baking #sourdoughworkshops #teachingsourdough #learningsourdough #bakinglove #sourdough #starter #sourdoughbread #baker #cottagestyle #homesteading #sourdoughscience #foodscience
