But don’t miss this information too! Comment CO But don’t miss this information too! Comment COWBOY… And I’ll dm You: my no discard (THE COWBOY WAY) method blog post And a link to learn more about how I create sourdough with my year round baking strategy. ➡️The most common questions/objections I am asked about this are: ❓How long can a starter stay in the fridge? So long as there is not contamination, indefinitely. Which is also the same answer for how long can you go between baking sessions ❓Won’t there be hooch?! Possibly, but hooch is not bad! Say it again: HOOCH IS NOT BAD! It’s a byproduct of fermentation and a sign it’s hungry It does not mean your starter is dead! ❓But won’t it become acidic? No. I’ve been crafting with sourdough my whole life and we’ve never had a starter become acidic from this method ❓But won’t it become weak? Not if you do the exact steps I teach ❓How much starter do you save? That’s up to you! I like about 1/4 cup. 🔆But what will I do with all this new time on my hands? Hopefully enjoy life and realize sourdough was never meant to be your whole life but to FIT INTO YOUR LIFE! 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.

How I manage the crust on a loaf of bread! If you How I manage the crust on a loaf of bread! If you struggle with a super crusty loaf of bread, here are my tips. My husband isn’t a crusty bread fan (meanwhile I love it!) but as the chef and baker in the house I choose to create what he enjoys: Know your recipe! An artisan loaf will have a thicker crust! ESPECIALLY when it’s fresh (think 24 hours old). As it is stored the crust does soften especially when it’s stored in beeswax wraps For artisan loaves (the high hydration sourdough loaves) place a baking sheet halfway through the bake. This will reflect some direct heat from the bottom of your loaves but not change the oven temperature And if you do get a crusty crusty loaf, just make bread crumbs Butter the tops of your loaves! This adds wonder flavor and softens the top. My favorite butters are @minerva_dairy and @rumianocheese Proper storage is critical! Store in beeswax wraps (like the ones @farmandhive creates) or in @keeki_co bags Comment BEESWAX for my favorite links Have other bread questions? I’ll answer them in the comments!

I’m getting personal here… For a long time, I I’m getting personal here… For a long time, I believed the lies and demonized bread. That carbs are bad And this mindset left me lacking and feeling deprived. But I found healing in the process, yes, the actual process of making bread. The process is unrushed and I fit it into my schedule (my schedule and life doesn’t revolve around it). I opt for the very best ingredients I can afford: organic, nongmo, and glyphosate free and I fresh mill my grains when I want this variation I long ferment and only use active starter, never using discard 👎🏽 I filter my water I don’t skimp on the salt I pair with protein and go on several walks throughout the day I’m not saying go eat a whole loaf, but you can live a happy healthy & balanced life WHILE including sourdough in it But the most important part of including sourdough in my life again: grounding and rooting Sourdough gives me a deep connection to my heritage and allows me to keep this blessing from my great grandfather alive. It gives me purpose and continues his legacy If you’re new here! Hi! My name is Boots and I’ve been using sourdough my whole life.
