How do you make sourdough bread? Starter, flour, w How do you make sourdough bread?
Starter, flour, water, and SALT!!

SALT is the one ingredient I don’t skimp on in recipes.

I know we try to avoid it and we try to eliminate it from recipes. But can I steal your attention for a bit longer as we discuss why salt is actually a GOOD ingredient?

Chemistry taught me salt was sodium chloride but @redmondrealsalt has changed my mind.

Salt is more than just sodium and chloride: NaCl
Redmond salt is so much more!
Redmond salt contains trace minerals. 
Redmond salt is unrefined.
And Redmond salt is mined in Utah 
It’s salt where you can actually see and taste the difference.

But salt is essential for living. It’s a crucial electrolyte. More and more studies are showing the health benefits of salt and that we shouldn’t be ditching salt. 

RATHER, let’s choose better. 
Why? Because if you go go the store and grab a table salt from the shelf you’ll see two ingredients: salt and yellow prussiate of potash** and even (wait for it)…SUGAR! Sugar is a filler in this case. 

The point is, if you know better options, you’ll choose better options. 

Salt ENHANCES flavor to your sourdough creations
And
With fermentation salt is needed! It actually aids in fermentation. Yielding a better product

So if your bread is tasting flat and lackluster:
CHANGE YOUR SALT

Ditch the generic table salt and swap it for a better for you, more flavorful salt!

Whatever your choice, mine is and always will be @redmondrealsalt just be sure you’re choosing real salt with trace minerals and it doesn’t have the sugar.

Fresh milled flour can last at room temperature fo Fresh milled flour can last at room temperature for several days (I like to use within a week)

If I mill too much or I just want to meal prep some flour: freezing your fresh milled flour will be the best way to preserve those nutrients. 

Fresh milled flour can be frozen for months, if not close to a year with proper freezing practices. Just allow it to come to room temperature before using. 

Comment FLOUR 

and I’ll message you one of my favorite podcast episode between @realalexclark and @breadbeckers regarding fresh milled flour and more fresh milled resources

Share your thoughts with me! What’s your hot take on flour?

My favorite mill for bread bakers: the classic from @nutrimill 

I love working with the ancient varieties like khorasan and einkorn berries from @grandtetonfamily

I also enjoy the hard wheat varieties (bread) and soft wheat berries (for cookies, cake, pastry) from @palouse_brand 

Have a fresh milled question? Ask away!

Don’t mind me, staying in my lane, teaching you ho Don’t mind me, staying in my lane, teaching you how to make bread at home. 

If this is a skill you want to learn, well my friend! 

I created and developed a whole bake along series for you. So that you can bake bread right along side of me. In this series I break down each step with videos to help you bake better bread. 

{Comment BREAD for the series link}

Each video shows you what I’m looking for, you can see, hear and read my tips and tricks. 

And the answer is yes, from start to finish, feeding my starter to baking bread, it takes me about 4 days to make bread with the majority of the time being hands off. 

This how I make and love bread. I don’t create same day baking recipes as I don’t love the rhythm nor do I love the end result. 

Long fermentation + slow and unrushed process > quick same day, short fermented recipes
