254. Sourdough Q&A with a 13-year sourdough veteran!

I have been baking sourdough for over 13 years, so I have learned a thing or two along the way. You will find lots of sourdough educators out there who will equip you with technical and scientific knowledge about the process of sourdough, and while that certainly serves a purpose, I prefer to make sourdough simple and accessible for the everyday home cook. My goal is to remove the overwhelm and show you how homemade sourdough bread can easily fit into your life, even if you don’t think you have time. Join me for the first part in this sourdough Q&A series!

In this episode, we cover:

• How to make your bread taste more or less sour
• Can flour type change the taste of your final product?
• Storage options for homemade bread
• Why does my sourdough bread have a gooey texture?
• My thoughts on when to store baked goods in the fridge
• When and how to prepare a sourdough recipe ahead of time
• Does it matter if I stir my starter down before measuring for a recipe?
• Why variations in your starter are normal
• Tips for storing your starter for long periods of time
• How much time do I need to devote to making sourdough?
• How the seasons impact sourdough baking
• Does it make sense to bake sourdough for a small family?
