She’s my baby #sourdoughsky #sourdoughbeginner

On a positive note on my sourdough exploits, I think I nailed it finally! Whole Wheat Boule. Niw I need to improve my scoring skills. Do u reuse your lame blade? How many times before it’s dull? #sourdoughbeginner #baking #sourdoughbread

Sourdough discard english muffins. Not sure what is happening, but I lost my nooks and crannies. 🤔 Same recipe. Atleast I thought it was. Just made them bigger. So re-evaluating. Down the rabbit hole I go again. 🥖 #sourdoughbeginner #sourdoughdiscard #baking

My first attempt at sourdough bagels. 🥯
They’re a touch underproofedand smidge overboiled, my technique is atrocious, but all things I can remedy for the next time. My tummy doesn’t mind.

Oops #breadsky #sourdoughfail #sourdough #sourdoughbeginner

So what do we think? Overproofed? #breadsky #sourdough #sourdoughbeginner

Part 4 of my #thirdtimesthecharm #sourdough attempt with #frodoughbaggins. I was nervous, but this is definitely the best one yet!! I am so excited for the cool down to finish so I can finally cut it open!! #mychemicaldoughmance #findingmyself #sourdoughbeginner

Part 3 of my #thirdtimesthecharm loaf of #sourdough with #frodoughbaggins. I’m worried it might have over proofed, but honestly, I can’t read the dough very well yet. I hope I’m wrong! Now we cold proof until morning! #sourdoughbeginner #findingmyself #baking

#thirdtimesthecharm and hopefully, it will work for us! Frodough is looking thick and ready. I started around 10:15 this morning, so we are on the way! #frodoughbaggins #sourdough #sourdoughbeginner #trusttheprocess #mychemicaldoughmance

Part 5 and the finale of my 2nd #sourdough attempt with #frodoughbaggins. Another lesson learned, and honestly, it turned out better than last time so I’ll take it! #findingmyself #sourdoughbeginner

Part 4 of my 2nd #sourdough attempt. Alas, another #sourdoughfail. I really thought I was onto something this time, but the deliciously smelling hockey puck I have now begs to differ. Maybe a longer bulk ferment? Advice welcome! #findingmyself #frodoughbaggins #sourdoughbeginner

I'm making my first sourdough starter! I got this dehydrated starter from #bakercreekseeds ,and it's supposed to be really successful 👍 I love Baker Creek's seeds too 🍽 🌱 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbeginner

Part 3 of my 2nd #sourdough attempt. Everything feels so so much better than last time! It’s so encouraging! #bulkfermentation lasted about 8 hours this time…now to sit for 30 minutes and then cold proof over night! #findingmyself #sourdoughbeginner #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance

#day20 with #frodoughbaggins in this wonderful experiment with #sourdough! Most of them went to my 2nd attempt at #baking a loaf, so today I just fed to let me rest until tomorrow. #findingmyself #sourdoughbeginner #mychemicaldoughmance

#day16 with #frodoughbaggins is just a maintenance day to get ready to try again this weekend! #sourdough #mychemicaldoughmance #sourdoughbeginner

My very first loaf of #sourdough bread made with my first starter, #frodoughbaggins. It is definitely #underproofed, but tasty! I can’t wait to try again! #mychemicaldoughmance #sourdoughbeginner

#frodoughbaggins is officially a loaf of #sourdough bread! Not much of a rise, but I’m almost sure that’s my inexperience at play. The smell is heavenly, and I can’t wait to cut in and see the insides! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #sourdoughbeginner

Day 15 with #frodoughbaggins! While their very first loaf of #sourdough bread has a little bit longer of a #coldproof, I decided to cut down on the #sourdoughstarter I have on hand, just so I don’t have too much discardto add to #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance #findingmyself #sourdoughbeginner

Bulk ferment lasted about 4.5 hours, with my very first #frodoughbaggins #sourdough loaf heading into the fridge for a cold proof around 1:00 AM. I think that was a bit too early, but hopefully it’s okay! #sourdoughbeginner #mychemicaldoughmance
