Sourdough tips and tricks
Most people think sourdough is complicated—but it's not. It’s a living rhythm, not a strict recipe. Here at Lets Sour Our Dough, we believe in the kind of sourdough wisdom that’s felt more than measured: how to trust your dough, read its texture, smell its readiness, and sense when to shape—even without a timer.
This is a go-to for real talk sourdough wisdom—not Instagram hacks.
It’s not just bread, it’s a return to self
If there’s one thing I wish every baker knew—whether beginner or seasoned—it’s this: you’re not just making bread, you’re returning to yourself.
Sourdough is a sacred act of presence. It teaches patience, slowness, and listening. Every rise and fold mirrors our own rhythms—how we soften with rest, strengthen with structure, and rise again through fermentation.
If my starter could talk: ancient bacteria, modern healing
If my 100-year-old starter had a voice, it would tell a story of resilience, nourishment, and quiet power.
