Not t sure if it is a success or not. Fresh out of the oven.

I’m thinking about putting together a live virtual sourdough workshop where I can walk alongside you as you make your first loaf, from checking your starter to pulling your bread out of the oven. Instead of wondering, you’d have a plan to follow and a place to ask questions as you go. I’m working through the logistics of a three-session workshop that could look like this: 1. Session 1: Starter check and getting prepared : We’d look at how your starter is doing, figure out whether it’s ready for baking, and go over what you’ll need. If yours needs a little more time, we’d identify your next step. 2. Session 2: Dough day: We’d mix our dough together, walk through the next steps, and talk about what to watch for as the dough rises & when your dough is ready for the next step. 3. Session 3: Shaping and baking: We’d work through shaping and getting your loaf baked, with time for questions along the way. The idea is to help you follow the process in your own kitchen with support along the way. Would you be interested in something like this? - Yes, I’d love to bake along with you! - Maybe, depending on the dates and times. - I’d prefer a workshop focused just on getting my starter ready. Or A live walk through (1 session) of the entire process starter to loaf, where you can observe, asks questions & get support. Tell me your thoughts on which format would be most helpful to you and whether weekdays, evenings, or weekends would generally work best for you. I’m still figuring out the schedule, and your answers will help me shape it!

Happy Monday, friends! How are things going in your kitchen? Whether you’re still thinking about starting or you’ve already sliced into your first loaf, I’d love to know where you are! Which one sounds most like you today? 1. I haven’t started yet, but I’m here! 2. I’m working on my starter. Watching for bubbles has become my new hobby. 3. I have a starter, but I’m not sure if it’s ready to bake. 4. I think I’m ready. I just need a little courage for that first loaf! 5. I baked my first loaf! 6. I’ve baked, and I’m ready to try again with a few questions. You don’t need a perfect starter photo or a beautiful loaf to join the conversation. I want to hear about your questions and the things that didn’t go quite as planned, too. That’s what we’re here to work through together. This week, let’s focus on one small next step. Leave your number in the comments and tell me a little about how it’s going. What’s your biggest question or what’s holding you back? If you’ve baked that first loaf, share a picture so we can celebrate with you!
