HERES the recipe Chewy Einkorn Ranger Cookies Ing HERES the recipe Chewy Einkorn Ranger Cookies Ingredients: 2 cups cane sugar 2 TBSP molasses 1 cup butter 2 eggs 1 TBSP vanilla 1/2 TBSP cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 4 cups einkorn flour 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 1 cup sunflower seeds Optional 1 cup chocolate chip, 1 cup flaked coconut, 1 cup rice cereal Directions: Cream together sugar, molasses, butter. Add one egg at a time until combined and add vanilla. Combine cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and einkorn flour. Slowly add into wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Add oats and sunflower seeds and any optional ingredients I made half a batch with just sunflowers and then a half batch with 1 cup chocolate chips. Preheat your oven to 350degF and prepare your baking sheets with silpat mats or parchment paper Using a one TBSP scoop begin portioning out your cookies. My trays hold 12 cookies Bake for 12 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack ENJOY! I truly believe the swap to fresh milled Einkorn makes these cookies. Fresh milled flour has this added unique flavor and you just don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Let’s dive deeper HERE: Let your starter come t Let’s dive deeper HERE: Let your starter come to room temperature before you feed your starter (this is best practice. A cold starter just means a longer duration to become active) Your starter in the fridge is referred to as your mother sourdough starter When you feed your starter, always feed more flour than water. I start with equal parts but then add more flour to create a starter thicker than pancake batter. If you’re into ratios this is usually a 1:1:1.5 feeding or keep reading for how I calculate this Set aside to become active (at least doubled and bubbly). This step is at room temperature Once active remove your initial starting amount and place this starter (your mother starter) in the fridge for next baking OR you could refeed here for another recipe but after it’s alive and active from the feeding is when you return it to the fridge. What starter is remaining is what you’ll use for baking. How do I figure this out? I look at the recipe to determine my feeding. This works insanely well because I keep a small starter If my recipe calls for 1c active starter (or approximately 226g) I would then feed my starter 1/2 each water and flour (or 113g water and flour) plus a bit more flour to get it to pancake batter consistency I only keep a small amount of starter, say 1/4 c, then the math breakdown would look like Starter+water+flour 1/4c+ 1/2/c+1/2c or 55g+113g+113g Once active I would remove my 1/4 cup (starting mother amount) and what’s left is what I use to bake with Here’s the short version of the Cowboy Way: • we don’t discard • we only feed our starter when we want to bake and we don’t feed it weekly • we keep our starters in the fridge If this sounds like the style of sourdough you want to be a part of, stick around! Sourdough is my culture And sourdough is my heritage, it’s my way to preserve my great grandfather’s legacy.

But wait! There’s more! I personally use filter But wait! There’s more! I personally use filtered water with my sourdough starter If you can opt for organic flour. My choice, organic all purpose flour Yes you can use fresh milled, but please sift it If you want to use einkorn, cool! Just know, you’ll need to be feeding more like a 1:1:2 ratio (if that is confusing ask me!) A word of caution with rye. I’m not against it, but please know, rye can create pink hooch. PINK is usually a sign of bacterial contamination so it will create a difficult situation to know if your starter is contaminated and unsalvageable or if it’s just rye. Hooch! This is normal! Clear or light gray is fine. So is dark gray and black. The darker colors develop with time so you really shouldn’t be seeing them Hooch is a byproduct of fermentation. It’s a sign your starter is hungry Feed and discard (removing the 80%) daily and every 24 hours! If you’re noticing your starter is doubling within 12 hours, bump up your feeding time to 12 hours not 24 hours. A healthy and happy starter will smell sweet and fermented Anything else, well that’s an imbalance and we’ll need to correct it Keep a lid resting/off kilter on top or a coffee filter, tea towel. Just nothing clamped down Your starter lives on the counter at room temperature during this time of creation Then it’s just a waiting game! If you want to skip all these steps, opt for an established starter from someone. I sell mine just MESSAGE me.

Tell me I’m not wrong but I do believe baking wi Tell me I’m not wrong but I do believe baking with sourdough really is therapeutic There’s just something about the rhythm, routine, the slower paced recipes, feeling the dough, smelling fresh baked bread and rolls and cookies that’s so incredibly healing for the soul If you’re new here!

My way of utilizing sourdough is different than what I currently see being taught and I’m on a mission to share THE COWBOY WAY of making sourdough To put it succinctly, • 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 because we’re trying to use up that discard (since we don’t produce discard) • we don’t spend a fortune on flour because we arent discarding • we let sourdough be a part of our life • we don’t let our lives revolve around 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.
