I love making bread but can’t do sourdough to save my FUCKING life. I’ve tried multiple times.

I 100% already reached this point with sourdough and the sonofabitchin “starter” went in the trash, jar and all.

I never had any issues starting my sourdough escapades… maybe I was lucky….

Is the passion about the bread, or the fail?

She is right. You can get way better product for way less effort just learning to make cakes and cookies and pies and pastry. I use a bread machine for bread. If you hate it, then stop it and do what you like.

I love baking bread but I don’t understand sourdough at all.

I can’t remember to put my laundry in the dryer. How can I be trusted to keep a starter alive?

Ah yes, the Zen of sourdough. Enlightenment comes to those who mindfully practice patience that comes from repeated failures. “It’s the journey, Grasshopper.”

She only lets it rise for an hour. Of course it doesn’t work.

Ancient peoples made bread rise with starters in clay pots and baked bread over cow shit.
But yeah, tiktok fake blond, you scream about your inability to make bacteria grow.

Sour dough doesn’t rise in one hour, that’s her first problem

Ohhh, if only a loaf of sourdough only cost three dollars…

I was dying laughing, the struggle is so real. Meanwhile people have thriving generations of starter that’s been passed down since the dawn of time.

Sourdough is special. It’s nature making the bread, not us. Before making sourdough, I was making buns and breads; so I thought I had experience but nope, still failed doing it.
Normal bread is just add all the ingredients after measuring and put it in the mixer. For sourdough, it’s time, temperature, air, environment and instinct that makes or breaks the sourdough. Once I understood that, my sourdough flourish. It takes a while to master but once you do, it’s beautiful. Even Claire Saffitz struggle on making her first sourdough and she’s a profesional chef

I stick with no knead recipes. I mastered the no knead (I have a stand mixer so I actually mix and knead a little)

The thing with sourdough, and a lot of bread, is it’s not just about following the directions in the recipe – it’s about being observant and understanding at what stage things are in and you environment. Like, if it says “rest 1 hour” sure rest one hour, but then if it’s not risen enough, give it another 30 minutes – another hour – maybe your house is too cold. That kind of stuff. It’s very much an art and science together.

Where can you get sourdough for 3$?

Dude, we were all there a few years ago. Sourdough plays by it’s own rules.
