If you are looking for a last minute Mother’s Da If you are looking for a last minute Mother’s Day gift idea for someone who loves to bake or is looking to get started, I shared lots of ideas in my stories (saved to highlights too)!⁣ ⁣ I may have gotten some of these myself… and nearly every single one is something I use in my kitchen or comparable. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Note:⁣ I love finding artisan spoons, bowls, and boards locally. And have some favorite Etsy shops, that I can share when there’s more lead time 🤗 #sourdough #sourdoughbaking #howtosourdough #sourdoughdiscard #dehydratedstarter #dehydratedsourdoughstarter #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughrefresh #sourdoughrefreshing #sourdoughhelp #mothersdaygifts #mothersdaygiftideas #mothersdaygiftguide #bakinggifts #bakergiftideas
Your environment will determine your behavior and Your environment will determine your behavior and choices…⁣ ⁣ You might want to bake sourdough, but you haven’t taken care of your starter in weeks. Or maybe you don’t even have a starter or haven’t taken a class. ⁣ ⁣ First, if you haven’t taken a class or a acquired a starter, then what are you waiting for? (You can find the links for my *open* Intro to Sourdough online course and dehydrated starter in the link in my profile @livingbreadbaker )⁣ ⁣ Second, if you have learned but your starter has been neglected and/or you haven’t created room on your schedule for sourdough, you may be discouraged or in danger of giving up. 😰⁣ ⁣ The solution? Pick one or two days in the week when you can make your dough. Put it on your calendar and also add the time to refresh your starter the morning before an evening dough mix or the night before a morning mix. ⁣ ⁣ If you have an active starter on your counter on a regular basis, it’s hard to resist using it! And a starter that’s regularly cared for makes better bread. 🍞✨⁣ ⁣ On a personal note, this concept applies to so many things but for me as I wait for this 4th baby to arrive, I think about the birth process. ⁣ ⁣ I wanted a natural birth for my first but because I didn’t create an environment around me that reflected those same values along with strategies and a pathway to make that happen, I ended up with an experience full of interventions that felt deflating, discouraging and nearly traumatizing. ⁣ ⁣ Subsequent pregnancies I learned the power of surrounding myself with people, places, and habits/practices that would empower me to have a natural birth and normalized the birth process rather than “treating” it and reinforcing fear. ⁣ ⁣ What do you think? Does your environment determine your behavior and choices? Have you seen this concept in your experience?⁣ ⁣ And for my final controversial thought on birth, see the comments 😅 #sourdough #sourdoughbaking #howtosourdough #sourdoughdiscard #dehydratedstarter #dehydratedsourdoughstarter #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughrefresh #sourdoughrefreshing #sourdoughhelp #sourdoughclass #sourdoughcourse #naturalbirth #intentions #birthcenter #homebirth
If you haven’t marveled at the spectacular evide If you haven’t marveled at the spectacular evidence of fermentation shown in the structure, crumb, and crust of your bakes lately… this is your sign to slow down. ⁣ ⁣ Take in the beauty of what the heat does to your dough, the smell that wafts in the air, the sound of the bread crackling from the heat. ⁣ ⁣ Isn’t that what spring makes us do? God has put little miracles all around us hidden in plain sight if only we’d stop and take notice. ⁣🌷🐣 #springbread #sourdough #sourdoughbaking #howtosourdough #sourdoughdiscard #dehydratedstarter #dehydratedsourdoughstarter #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughrefresh #sourdoughrefreshing #sourdoughhelp
