They Say 3rd Time’s a Charm

Y’all! I’m not complaining, just offering encouragement to anyone struggling today or tomorrow or even the day after. I posted my experience with trying to make a sourdough discard loaf earlier this week that resulted in tasty focaccia. I decided to try again this morning since I had some starter to use up. This dough was beautiful, and I was so impressed with the windowpane. I thought, let me get a picture/video of it. I propped my phone on a Weck jar (like I always do), but it wasn’t in the cards for that dough to become bread. Yep! My phone tumbled off the jar, right onto my dough!! Have you ever seen what happens to a phone when it face plants into sourdough? I’m so thankful I had a screen protector on it so I could just peel the mess off once I got it separated from the dough. That dough ended up in the trash, but I didn’t give up! I just finished my last set of folds on my 3rd attempt at a loaf of sourdough bread this week. I got an even better windowpane with this dough, so I WIN!

Don’t give up, no matter what!
