Looking good on the outside, hallow on the inside. It’s a baker’s nightmare & my DM’s are now filled with advice & horror stories 😂

Thank you all for sharing. We’re all just doing our best and learning from each other. My tip: don’t skimp on shaping! One loaf was done well & then I got a little lazy! (Or maybe it was just the wild yeast?! Baking is a mystery after all!)

Will this become a home renovation channel?? Your guess is as good as mine.

Baby steps to getting this bakery space spruced up and ready for production!

Diary of a baker turned interior designer??

Just send help. This is not where I shine, but we’re gonna do the dang thing.

Packaging, signage, shed decor, stickers/labels & an overall bakery refresh need to happen.

Honestly I just want to bake, but running a small business in the bakery realm is SO MUCH MORE. I’m gonna postpone the computer work I also need to get done 🫣 and run to the hardware store for some paint colors.

Thinking a very light blue-grey for the walls — but what complementary colors do I pick for branding?!

Does the starter make a difference??

In general, yes, starter health & maintenance makes or breaks your bread. BUT what if I take my usual starter & compare it with Sourdough Educator & Microbakery • Parker Cook dehydrated starter?

Over the course of too many reels (scroll back if you’re curious!!) I hydrated & fed Sourdough Educator & Microbakery • Parker Cook dehydrated starter according to package instructions. The starter was bubbly and active by day 4! I gave it an extra day to mature alongside my starter & started dough day for a little side by side action.

Super pleased that I could make a great loaf in less than a week with the newly hydrated starter!!

And slightly surprised that there was no noticeable taste or texture differences between loaves.

My starter was quicker to rise and fall, but once mixed in these starters acted very much the same.

Now, do I combine the two bacteria cultures I’ve been tending? Keep them separate? Scrap one (this feels cruel 🫣)?

Thanks for coming along!!

We’ve broken through the 24 hour cycle!!

Peaked and dropping, these ladies are hungry!

Going in with a 1:1.5:2 feed for both & hoping they peak before bedtime.

Planning for a dough day tomorrow!! Cause guys, it’s been two weeks since I’ve touched dough 😭😭

Sourdough Educator & Microbakery • Parker Cook super impressed with your dehydrated starter!! I think I coulda baked on day 5!!

Laila *unlock your baker’s intuition* thanks for gifting 🥰

Love the baker community around these parts 😍

Less bubbles day #4??

Thinking I need consistent temperature… Brød & Taylor wanna send me a Sourdough Home for accurate experimentation?

Makes me super curious for tomorrow!

Taste & smell are SO different from my starter, which peaks my curiosity even further.

Now that I have 2 living starters…do I have to name them?!
