Comment and tell me did you know these benefits or Comment and tell me did you know these benefits or did any surprise you? One more benefit for me personally is the connection to my great grandfather. When I use his sourdough starter, I keep his memory and legacy alive. 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.

YOU NEED THIS REMINDER: You don’t need to be rigid YOU NEED THIS REMINDER: You don’t need to be rigid in a baking timeline. Sometimes it’s 15 minutes with stretch and folds and sometimes I’m in a meeting and the stretch and folds wait. Sourdough is FORGIVING!! Say it with me again: Sourdough is FORGIVING!! But in case you want that (rough) baking timeline again: 2 pm remove starter from fridge to come to room temp 8pm feed Next morning/day2 10am remove fed sourdough starter and make bread with my high hydration bread recipe (remember to save your mother Starter) 1030 first stretch and fold 11 second stretch and fold 1130 third stretch and fold Counter bulk ferment (my house temp this is around 6 hours 530 pm shape and into rice floured bannetons into fridge Day 3: cold proofing in the fridge pm preheat oven with Dutch Ovens at 450 deg F Day 4: 2pm (1 loaf at a time) flip banneton onto parchment or silicone sling & score Bake 450 for 30 minutes with lid ON, then 25 minutes with lid off Cool 2 hours slice and enjoy! I personally don’t do same day bakes. I let these loaves ferment!! They won’t be sour. Savor the process. Be unrushed. If you’re new here! Hi!

Give this a listen and then tell me, Does anything Give this a listen and then tell me, Does anything surprise you? Let me know your thoughts in the comments and let’s continue the conversation! A few things I personally want to touch on: Celiac and sourdough…there is a study that shows individuals with celiacs MAY tolerate long fermented sourdough however this isn’t a one size fits all scenario but I do want to bring awareness to this aspect. It’s the study that says this and I find it fascinating but I do know many with celiacs and I know it’s a very real issue. Which also leads me to the long fermentation process, long fermentation helps to continue to break down gluten, physic acid, increase bioavailability of vitamins and minerals and aids in digestion.

Here’s the truth Just because you add sourdough t Here’s the truth Just because you add sourdough to a recipe does not make it “healthy” or easier to digest. Sourdough is a ferment so let your recipe ferment and harness its power. The sourdough is fermented but the recipe is not. If you’re adding sourdough discard and baking right away you are: Adding moisture and adding flavor and a binding agent But unless you ferment it, it’s not going to be easier on your gut nor is that recipe fermented. Instead, swap out that discard for active starter and let it ferment for at least 24 hours. Fermentation allows the flour to be broken down better and some of the sugars to be used as “food” for the fermentation process. Also, What flour are you using? Some of those ingredients in store bought flours can make us feel icky (this can either be the additives or what’s been sprayed on the flour) If your budget allows for it, choose organic flour (my favorite is @centralmilling) but if these options for flour are still giving you issues, it might be time to try the ancient grain varieties Ancient grains like khorasan and einkorn have a different protein structure that can actually be easier to digest than what’s available in store bought flour. (I use @grandtetonfamily) If ancient grains intrigue you, I’m adding more and more fresh milled content soon If you’re new here! Hi! My name is Boots and I’ve been using sourdough my whole life.

Is a sourdough starter fermented? Yes! But if yo Is a sourdough starter fermented? Yes! But if you’re adding your starter to a recipe and baking it right away, you’re missing out on the opportunity to make that whole recipe better because it’s not fermented. At that point you’re just adding flavor, moisture and a binder I had a comment about “but what about discard crackers?” I’ll make crackers but just use active starter I only make enough starter for the recipe(s) I want to make Now if you want to mix and bake right away, that’s cool. You do you I’m just going to be over here fermenting all my goodies If you’re new here! Hi! My name is Boots and I’ve been using sourdough my whole life.
