In today’s Sourdough 101 class, we learned how to care for starters, create dough, and bake bread. One of the demonstrations is how to use inclusions. I created this Garlic Rosemary loaf and brought it home to bake! Isn’t it gorgeous?

If you attended class and went home to bake bread, post your pics below! I would love to see what you created!!!

We will walk through making a loaf of sourdough, caring for your starter, and how to troubleshoot both of these processes. We will provide you with everything you'll need during the class and you'll leave with an established starter as well as the dough we make in class for you to take home and bake.

I wish I would have taken pics of the process of baking this loaf. It was a good lesson in trusting your starter and always following through. I’ve never thrown dough out when it doesn’t “feel right.” I either turn it into focaccia or I bake and pray for the best results. This was a case of bake and pray. When I shaped this loaf it was tacky to the point I had to add flour to keep it from sticking to everything. When it went into my Dutch oven, it was flat and wouldn’t hold its shape. When I tell you I was shook when I took the top off of my Dutch over mid bake and found this beautifully risen loaf, I mean it. It came out perfectly and the taste was amazing! As soon as it cooled, it was gone, I didn’t even have time to grab a crumb shot. The boys devoured it!

Let’s discuss how to make and ways to use cranberries after they’ve been preserved in honey!

According to my husband, this is the best bread I’ve ever made. During lamination, I added everything but the bagel seasoning. I guess this will be the new go to in my house.

Would love to see pics of what y’all have been working on, sourdough wise!

When we went to Michigan to visit family for Thanksgiving, we drove through Wisconsin where I purchased a hard white cheddar with blueberries and I just knew it would make a beautiful loaf of bread. And it did! My only regret is that I didn’t buy more of it!

It’s the season for CRANBERRIES!!!

Cranberries are a beautiful superfood packed full of nutrients and antioxidants! They are also amazing for our urinary tract health! Let’s chat a little bit about some of my favorite ways to prepare and preserve them for use all year long. You can tincture them, dehydrate them but my favorite preparation is to make a honey ferment with them. The honey ferment can be used for tea, atop desserts or sweet breakfast foods, or even as a spread for your homemade sourdough! If you’d like a video on how to make a cranberry honey ferment, comment below!

No matter how I prepare them, the first step is to pop them open, which you can do by squeezing them between your fingers. Can you say satisfying???
