    You’re so calm and gentle with your toddler, I have a toddler and baby too, this reminds me to do the same. It’s so easy to get caught up in the stress and chaos of the day. Thanks for the craft ideas we will try a couple 😊

    sourdough tip when you travel! just stick your starter jar in the fridge! it slows down the fermentation process. I only bake with my starter once a week, so I store it in the fridge between baking.
    for example, I take my starter out of the fridge the night before I want to bake and feed it. it’ll be nice and active the next morning, then I use it in my recipe and I feed it and put it back in the fridge until the next week.
    this method can easily be done when traveling!

    From a qualified baker - yes starter for sourdough is best when it’s equal parts of water and flour. Best to measure in grams and kg, as cups aren’t accurate 💛

    sourdough basically lasts forever! we have 60+ year old starter in our family! you put it in the fridge whenever you aren’t actively using it and the yeast “goes to sleep”, and lays dormant until you wake it up and feed it. if you forget it or can’t feed it for a time, you can wait till you are about to use it and then spend a week feeding it (as if you were using it, but not actually because it won’t have enough awake yeast to rise the bread), and once you’ve fed it four or five times, you can tell the yeast is awake again and ready. once it’s thick and bubbly like before, you can use it in bread. it’s honestly one of the easiest things once you get the hang of it! good luck! it’s going to be fun🥰

    You’re inspiring me to start my own sourdough starter. Once you get the hang of it or you learn any tips and tricks, you should do a little sourdough video explaining everything to us. I would love that video! Explain what you do when you travel, how to feed it, how to score, best products, etc. 😊

    FYI, an Armenian food youtuber makes and sells sourdough starter! It comes in dry form and you just have to "wake it up", so to speak😅 but it's a great way to go about making your own, because it could be so temperamental 🤣 If you decide to go that route, look up Heghine's starter and I'm sure her website will pop up. But good luck with that either way! There's truly no cosier smell than the smell of freshly baked bread in your home😍

    Easy way to do sourdough starter: know that equal parts can only be measured by weight, not amount.
    Measure the weight of your jar in grams on a scale (always keep that number in mind)
    Now that you have a starter, when you feed it, take out enough starter to have 50g again. Then add 50g of water 50g of flour. Just do this every day room temp or once a week in the fridge! If you’re wanting to make more than one loaf, make more obviously. But this is what i do! Super simple and easy!
