Let’s make sourdough simple again! Two micro habi Let’s make sourdough simple again! Two micro habits to implement if you’re maintaining your starter in the fridge: -Remove your starting amount when your whole mixture is peaked and active when you return it to the fridge -Feed on the heavier side of flour I always add just a bit more flour than what I need for the recipe because my starter likes to be thicker My great grandfather taught us that when we are not baking our sourdough starter lives in the fridge and there is absolutely no need to touch it or feed it on the weekly basis. So if I’m not baking, I am 100% hands off. I only feed my starter when I am baking. How often I bake is really determined by my meal plan for that week any special events I have going on or if I need to fill the freezer. So I could bake every week or it could be once a month or I even just went all summer long. (3.5 months) with my starter being left in the fridge. HERES my baking rhythm: When I bake, I look to see what my recipe needs/calls for. (See the reel right before this one) -Remove my starter from the fridge -Feed my starter according to the recipe (math below) -Let rest to become active -Place the lid to my jar as a reminder to reserve my starting amount -Once active remove my starting amount -Then get to mixing and into the rest of the recipe If you’re new here! Hi! My name is Boots and I’ve been using sourdough my whole life. My way of utilizing sourdough is different than what I currently see and I’m on a mission to share THE COWBOY WAY of making sourdough Sourdough is my culture Sourdough is the means to which I create bread at home And sourdough is my heritage, it’s my way to preserve my great grandfather’s legacy.

This is the only method for maintaining my sourdou This is the only method for maintaining my sourdough I know. It’s the method my great grandfather taught us, what my dad did growing up and how I practice sourdough. I grew up with sourdough and have seen how hardy and flexible and resilient it truly is. My great grandfather taught us: if you’re not baking with sourdough, it’s hands off and lives in the fridge What I gleaned is that sourdough can be a part of your life but your life DOES NOT need to revolve around sourdough. There is a freedom that comes with the Cowboy Way of sourdough!! Here’s the short version of the Cowboy Way: • we don’t discard • we only feed our starter when we want to bake • we keep our starters in the fridge • we keep a small amount of a mother starter at all times • we don’t feel pressured into making recipes we don’t typically eat • we don’t spend a fortune on flour because we are discarding • we let sourdough be a part of our life • we don’t let our lives revolve around sourdough If this sounds like the style of sourdough you want to be a part of, stick around. My goal is to show you HOW I bake and how you can too! My name is Boots and I’m sharing about the COWBOY WAY of sourdough. It’s the way my great grandfather taught us to care for and use sourdough. You see, he passed his starter down to my dad and then onto me. Sourdough has always been a part of my life. Sourdough is my culture Sourdough is the means to which I create bread at home And sourdough is my heritage, it’s my way to preserve my great grandfather’s legacy. Happy baking! 🍞 Boots PS: share your sourdough questions with me! PPS: no you don’t need to take your dough with you for stretch and folds either. That steps flexible too! follow along for more Simple From Scratch Nourishing Recipes and more food preserving tips @theflouringhome #Theflouringhome #sourdough #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughstarter #bread #breadmaking #sourdoughscoring #levain #sourdoughlove #sourdoughloaf #greatgrandpasstarter #johnstonsourdough #masamadre #wildyeast #wildyeastbread #sourdoughcommunity #bakingfromscratch #idaho #idahoblogger

Here’s what you need to know To make a levain, y Here’s what you need to know To make a levain, you use a small amount of starter and add large amounts of flour and water It might look like this: 10g starter 70g water 70g flour Total levain made: 150g Then once this is active and you are about to mix your loaf, you use the ENTIRETY of that mixture. There’s no reserving your initial starting amount. You’re literally making enough starter for your recipe Are all recipes written like this? No What if you don’t want to make a levain but want to keep creating sourdough the cowboy way (the no discard method I teach)? Then you would just make an active starter instead and feed your starter according your the total levain need of 150g I hope this helps bring clarity to what you’re making and makes sourdough simple again.
