Here’s what I used to believe as a beginner sourdough baker—and spoiler alert: they were not helping 👀 Feeding my starter daily — who has time for that?! I thought I had to babysit it 24/7… nope. Otis lives in my fridge now, peacefully. Tossing my discard every single time — I thought it was waste. Turns out, it’s the secret ingredient to snacks, quick meals, and so much more. Waiting 12 hours on the dot — I was glued to the clock. No one told me fermentation is flexible if you know what signs to look for. Starting over every time my starter smelled “off” — I tossed so many perfectly fine starters. A little funk doesn’t always mean failure, friend. Buuuuttttt now that we know better, we can do better! 🙌 Comment DAILY and I’ll send over The Daily Loaf—my free guide with beginner-friendly recipes + follow for tips that actually work for real life (not perfect life) P.S looking for a starter so you can kickstart your sourdough journey - comment OTIS I got you! 😉 . . . #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbread #focaccia #fromscratch #inthekitchwn #tips #sourdoughbread #bread #homebaker #homemaking #homebake #sourdoughtips #health #wellness #holisticliving #holistic
