FRISBEE? ・・・
FLAT SOURDOUGH Repost @vanessakimbell
There’s a sense that everyone on Instagram always make magic bread. The kind that you dream of, and it looks so beautiful, and so easy. But back in the real world your if your loaves are either house bricks or frisbees it’s frustrating. Ok so it’s funny a few times and then it’s make or break time. So many bakers give up at this point.

The problem is that learning is in part about acquiring knowledge and skill, and in part you sense of achievement is also about your expectations. I mean it’s just bread right?

No it’s not. It’s actually an art. Sourdough is an artisan bread for a reason & most professional bakers do a 3-year apprenticeship to learn to master sourdough, so in a world where everyone wants a quick fix, sourdough is about slowing down and about connecting to the process, with your mind, your heart and your hands. It is about using your senses. It is also about logic, and an important thing to remember is that it’s not simply a matter of hoping one day, that you might wake up and get out of bed and find you have suddenly become an expert baker in overnight. Instead, you need to bake often and learn to recognise what has gone wrong and then you can make incremental changes or adjustments to your method to get it right.

So I’ve written a thorough feature on the 13 reasons your sourdough is flat ... see today’s story for the link ... or go straight to the website www.sourdough.co.uk for the full article.

It’s also worth mentioning my club is about learning in a supportive community online. It’s far more than just an online course.... I work on it every day creating content & chats with my students in the forum...I guess it is the virtual way attend the @sourdoughschool

OPEN CRUMBS

I think I'm getting closer to my goal. Each time a little more. I feel excited, proud of myself for never giving up. No matter how many books you read, how many Facebook groups you join, how many suggestions you gather. The only thing you need is experience and a lot, a lot, a lot of failures.

Levain and salt mixed in by hand as always. 5 hours bulk fermentation at 75°F or 24°C including one lamination (seeds added at this step) and three coil folds.

SOURDOUGH FOR HEALTH

I’ve never gone with what is popular. I’m not particularly interested in what is easy. I don’t suppose I’ve ever gone with the flow. This is different. It’s beautiful. It’s about learning in a different way. It’s application of knowledge.
The Sourdough for Health Workshops focus on one specific area of bread and the gut microbiome, such as IBS or Mental Health and our starting point is the research. Its about discovering something more than just the holes ..... #sourdoughschool #sourdoughclass #sourdoughlessons #sourdoughrocks
