I killed my last sourdough starter. like forgot to feed it in the back of the fridge for like 8 months. I love baking bread, but was so swamped this summer and fall that I just didn’t stop and take a little time to make a loaf or two. I would cringe when buying bread at the grocery store, but just did it in the moment, had some self loathing, and told myself that I would make bread “next week”. Next week took a while, but just before thanksgiving, I decided to just make it happen.

The new starter was 1st. A week of feeding, cutting, feeding and BAM! Sourdough starter done.

Next was making the dough, folding, rising, proofing and cutting with my new super boogie lame (dough knife) that I got at Make Camp this year.

And then we had yummy fresh bread. I have made a loaf a week for the last month, have been making sourdough pizza crust, pancakes, and am keeping my new starter alive and well fed.
