Real question today! If you close your eyes and think of “home,” what flavor shows up first? Not the Pinterest-perfect meal or the recipe you impress people with. I’m talking about the simple, ordinary taste that instantly makes your shoulders drop😌 The soup you ate when you were sick. The bread that lived on the counter growing up. The dessert that always showed up at holidays without fail. Flavor has a funny way of holding memories, doesn’t it? One bite can take you back years. One smell can feel like a hug you didn’t know you needed. That’s part of why I love baking so much. We’re not just mixing flour and water... We’re carrying little pieces of “home” into the future. So I want to hear yours today! What flavor feels like home to you? No wrong answers, just memories. It could be a specific sourdough bread flavor or a meal! Tell me below 💬

A reminder about sourdough and temperature! Idk where you're from, but here in Louisiana it's a bit chilly😅 (truly only a little compared to other places lol) and I'm about to get creative with my dough proofing today! It's order makin time☺️ the exstensiveness of my creativity is just putting dough in the oven with the light on for a little bit to warm it up🤣 Here's a quick reminder today: dough doesn’t run on a clock, it responds to temperature! Time is just our tool, but warmth speeds things up and cooler temps slow everything down, every single time. If your dough feels behind, it isn’t broken, and if it’s moving faster than expected, it isn’t wrong — it’s just reacting to its environment. Recipes give us structure, temperature gives us context, and your hands tell the real story👐🏼

I'm off on another project - assembling Sourdough Kits to sell locally🤪 What are you guys up to today? Any baking planned?

How to: 1️⃣Pre-heat your oven to 425° F with your cast iron skillet inside. While it pre-heats, prep your toppings 2️⃣Once it's nice and hot, sprinkle some olive oil and evenly coat the skillet 3️⃣Add starter directly to the skillet and spread it around the skillet. Only add enough starter to make a thin layer around the skillet, including up the sides. It will cook it as you spread it. Spread slow. 💡Tip: make your starter a bit runny if it's not already. It'll spread easier 4️⃣Sprinkle on some salt and Italian seasoning then pop it in the oven for 8-10 minutes to bake the crust 5️⃣Once crust is browned, add sauce, cheese & your toppings of choice. 💡make sure not to add too much sauce because it will make the crust underneath soggy 6️⃣Pop it back on the oven for another 8-10 minutes 7️⃣Once cheese and everything is melted nicely. Take it out, transfer to a plate, slice & enjoy!
