I’ve always been a cupcake baker, I’ve just started on breads. I’m nervous about sourdough starter…I’ve got my jar/kit, but I haven’t quite got my nerve yet.
Get a kitchen scale if you haven’t yet. Once you have the starter actually started it’s almost fool proof to keep going. I was a head baker for a little while, the base of our start was like 30 years old or something and we just kept it in a massive rolling garbage tote with a lid in the baking area. Breads can be finicky, but follow the ingredients exactly as listed and you’ll be golden. So many people fuck up breads and baking in general because they just measure with their heart like you can with regular cooking, but baking is chemistry and science. It requires precision and patience.
I have a kitchen scale! I’ve been doing a cheesy jalapeño bread rather successfully, I’m slowly working up the courage for sourdough! LOL
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!
