I’ve been baking sourdough for the past 5 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that sourdough will teach you a lot more than how to make bread. 😂🍞
Five years of feeding starters, trying new recipes, making beautiful loaves, making some REALLY questionable loaves, and learning from plenty of mistakes has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of trusting the process.
I’ve learned that every loaf doesn’t have to be perfect to be good. That sometimes the “failures” teach you more than the picture-perfect loaves. And that you can follow the exact same recipe and somehow end up with completely different bread. 😂
Most of all, I’ve learned that the best part of sourdough isn’t always the bread itself. It’s the memories made in the kitchen, the people you get to share it with, and the joy that comes from creating something with your own two hands.
Here are 10 things five years of baking sourdough has taught me. 🤎
And yes… I’m still learning. I’m pretty sure sourdough will always have something new to teach me.
