Sourdough bread doesn’t have to taste sour. When I first started making sourdough, my kids hated it. They really preferred that tasteless store-bought white bread 🤣 But then I started making this bread and they were in. It’s super soft and fluffy and when you keep your dough warm, it will ferment quickly so you can go from mixing to baking all in one day this helps keep the flavour mild. You’ll find two versions on breasandhappiness.com - both will give you the same great results but one calls for more starter to help it rise faster (which is great when you’re in a hurry or your kitchen is chilly). Remember flavour is developed over time, so the faster it rises, the less tangy it will be. Include the word SANDWICH and I’ll send you the link to both! Happy baking #sourdough #sandwichbread #homemade #youcanmakeit #starter

Chocolate Chip Sourdough Ingredients • 145 g active starter (about ½ cup) • 420 g flour (about 3⅓ cups) • 263 g water (about 1 cup + 1 tbsp) • 1 tsp salt • 100 g chocolate chips (about ½ cup) Instructions 1. In a bowl mix water, starter, and flour. Cover and rest 40 minutes. 2. Add salt, mix it in, then do a coil fold immediately. Cover 30 minutes, then add your chocolate chips, stretch and fold and coil fold to try to add all the chocolate inside (2 coil folds in total) until the dough resists folding. 3. Cover and let it rise until puffed about 70% (don’t let it double). 4. Flour your surface, place the dough gently. Fold from the sides, turn and fold again, then keep turning the dough between your hands until it has surface tension. 5. Place in a floured banneton, close the seam, cover, and refrigerate overnight. 6. Next day, place on parchment paper, score, and transfer to oven preheated at maximum temperature for at least 35 minutes with two trays inside (one for bread, one for water). Pour water into the hot tray to create steam. 7. Bake at 480°F (250°C) for 15 min with steam, then 380°F (190°C) for 20 min without steam. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughstarter #starter

This looks ready. It rises, doubles, and fills with bubbles — so most people use it here. But doubling isn’t the signal. A starter isn’t ready when it just rises. It’s ready when fermentation moves from bottom to top. That’s when: • bubbles travel through the entire jar • the structure looks even, not patchy • it can hold its peak Before that, it’s active — but not strong enough. If you use it too early: • fermentation becomes uneven • dough lacks strength • results feel inconsistent Wait for the shift. If this still feels unclear, comment “PEAK” — I’ll send you a simple guide. #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #wildyeast #breadmaking #starter

Here’s the truth 👇 But first, comment RISE for my best tips to keep your starter healthy and strong 💛 So many people think their sourdough starter ia dead, and they throw it away too soon… and it breaks my heart 💔 Don't chuck it! It's probably still alive! That gray liquid on top? That’s hooch—it just means your starter is hungry, not dead. A strong starter is actually really hard to kill 🙌 As long as you don’t see mold (fuzzy, black, or colorful spots), it’s almost always salvageable. Here’s how to bring it back to life ✨ • Pour off the liquid (or stir it in if you prefer) • Take a small amount (even just 5–10g) • Feed it fresh flour (a mix of whole grain and unbleached, ideally)+ water (try 1:2:2 or even 1:3:3) • Keep it warm and repeat feedings every time it peaks Give it a few days of consistent care, and you’ll usually see it bounce right back 💪 And remember… starting a new one from scratch can take up to 2 weeks 😅 So don’t give up on it too quickly! Comment GUIDE if you want my step-by-step for making a starter from scratch Thanks to @the_shirley_stylist for another guest appearance! XO, Tem #Sourdough #starter #sourdoughbaking
