What's the catch with sourdough? Is it really good for you? Is it healthy?

First, you definitely can’t get these benefits from a factory-made "grocery loaf". Not even the Costco one will do. Commercial "sourdough" is often just white bread with added sour flavorings and yeast.

To get the real blood-sugar-stabilizing magic, dough has to go through the slow, authentic "wild" fermentation process.

The fermentation process breaks down phytic acid (an anti-nutrient found in whole grains), making it drastically easier for your body to absorb essential minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium.

Nothing beats knowing exactly what goes into your food. Just pure, unadulterated flour, water, salt, and time.

Do you lean toward whole grains or traditional white flour for your bakes? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Struggling with what to do with your sourdough discard? Don’t toss it, transform it!

​Sourdough discard is a blank canvas. If you open my fridge right now, you'll find jars of opportunity.

​From crispy crackers (my fave) and soft sandwich bread to gooey cookies and golden waffles. Not to mention it replaces expensive and crazy ingredient store-bought hamburger buns, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, and bagels.

You name it, discard can do it!

​Once you actually start baking with it, your whole mindset shifts. You realize it’s never actually “waste”, it’s pure opportunity.

Is the new Sourdough Sidekick actually worth the counter space? 🤔

​I put the King Arthur and FirstBuild Sourdough Sidekick to the test, and if you’ve been eye-balling this to help manage your starter, here is my honest take:

​It is an absolute game-changer if you want to streamline your baking workflow. Not only is it precise and sleek on the counter, but most importantly...it delivers a perfectly peaked starter exactly on your schedule. No more guessing games. ⏰

I work from home and have tight windows to put dough together. This new appliance has changed everything.

***This was my first attempt. I've been using it for a bit now. Follow for more Sidekick and sourdough content.

Golden Butter Sourdough 🧈💛🍞

Proof that one ingredient can completely change everything.

I added butter powder directly to my flour, and it completely changed the crumb. It gives you that rich, brioche-like softness without messing up your dough consistency or hydration percentages. It #’s officially my new favorite baking hack. 🧈
