@breadbyhope: When you're learning sourdough, watch out for these common pitfalls: ❌ Overwhelm & Frustration: Stick to just one recipe and method. Try it 2-3 times before changing. This helps you avoid feeling swamped. ❌ Overspending without results: Buying the best gear isn’t going to get you results - practice and repetition will. ❌ Underfed Starters: This often causes high acidity, making your dough sticky and preventing it from rising well, even if you follow the recipe perfectly. Make sure your starter gets plenty of fresh flour and water when you feed it. #SourdoughTips #BakingJourney #SourdoughBeginner #HomeBaking #sourdoughtok
