Starting my site.

Why create a blog about sourdough? Like so many during the 2020 pandemic, I had a lot of time on my hands, an interest in bread baking and a lack of yeast available. I went on line, watched a ton of videos, visited hundreds of websites, tried and failed a couple of times to get a starter going, and finally cobbled together what worked best for me. Since that time in early April 2020, I have shared many “babies” from my mother starter with friends, and written many emails to explain my process. Rather than continue to share my journey piecemeal, I decided to create a single repository for my accumulated wisdom (and lack thereof). I am not an expert baker, or trained chef. I’m just a guy with a love of good food, with a fair amount of time on my hands, and a willingness to share what I have found useful. I will be sharing many sites where I have found the best info and recipes. I’ll provide links to many videos I found educational, entertaining, or just fun. I’ll also include equipment suggestions and reviews. I hope to help you find the best way to incorporate home baking, fermenting, and cooking into your life.
