I’m not an expert and I don’t have a step by step guide to give you. Over the past 6 years that I’ve been baking Sourdough, I’ve incorporated a variety of points from talented artisans to create my own baking rhythms, but never one version and I still tend to break all their rules too, ha! Here’s my short list of “tips”: 1. Relax, take a breath, STOP overthinking it. 2. Skip stretch & folds, they’re dumb😂 - I’m a sourdough purist baker’s worst nightmare. 3. Make sure your starter passes the “float test”, because that means it’s nice and active and bubbly. 4. Let it do its ferment thingy 5. Bake in HOT (heated at temp for 30m-1hr) Dutch oven. HAVE FUN with it. It’s better as a rhythm than a clinical process. The most “regimented” part of my sourdough process is the measurements. I do use a kitchen scale and do a ratio of 425 grams lukewarm water, 200 grams bubbly starter, 650 grams flour (I use @jovialfoods einkorn or organic all purpose flour) and 15-20 grams of flaky sea salt. The next most important thing I do is bake in a preheated Dutch oven! Even the most neglected dough will rise to the baking challenge in a🔥Dutch oven. Parchment & a little water underneath are two more details that I never skip! Want my a list of my sourdough baking must haves? Comment ‘Sourdough’ below and I’ll send them your way! So stop overthinking it! Sourdough is an ancient process, why do we try to make it so complicated ? Bake the sourdough! Eat the sourdough. Enjoy this one short, beautiful life you have!

A simple Costco haul to replenish a few things and prep for some hosting coming up. A few things not captured, because I forgot to keep filming. - organic Avocado oil - kitchen trash bags (because massive box that lasts us a year) - yard cleanup bags - brisket to be smoked for Easter family dinner - organic chicken tenderloins - a bag each of sweet potatoes & baby potatoes to be roasted for Easter dinner. I will also often stock up on organic butter, organic hemp & chia seeds, and other nuts & seeds. As well as organic all-purpose flour, Archer Farm beef sticks, organic rice, canned beans and chicken broth. The frozen veggies and fruits are hands down the BEST price point for the size of bags and we love the broccoli & green beans best! You do need an extra freezer if you stock up on a lot of these things. Which if you’re an ingredient household and you don’t have an extra freezer, how do you do it? I couldn’t live without my extra freezer! Tell me👇your favorites to grab from Costco! Be sure to follow @becky.glaze for all things healthy living!
