Little by little, I’ve been finding my way back into the kitchen. 🤍 This week, I baked 12 loaves of sandwich bread for my family made a batch of sourdough oatmeal raisin cookies, a dozen cinnamon rolls, and a dozen caramel rolls for my husband’s boss.

And honestly? It has been SO nice to bake again simply because I want to. There’s something really special about being back in the kitchen without the pressure of having to produce, keep up, or meet a certain schedule. Just baking for my family, trying things, making a mess, and enjoying the process. 🥹🤎

I’m really enjoying this season I’m in right now. There’s no rush to get back to where I was. I’m just taking it one bake at a time and letting myself enjoy it.
Maybe someday the bakery will look a little busier again, but for now, I’m perfectly happy baking for my family and friends 🥐🍪🤍

👋 Hello everyone!! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. We’re over here trying to find our rhythm with four kids four and under. 🤍 I won’t lie it hasn’t been easy. 😅 Every time I feel like we’ve finally found our rhythm, we lose it just as quickly. 😂

I don’t have a definite date or plan for when I’ll be baking again. Life looks a little different right now and I really don’t want to miss this time with my family. Honestly I kind of like not having a set date. No rush, no pressure. 🤍 I will be back eventually I just can’t say for sure when. Right now, these four little kids need the majority of my attention and I’m trying to soak up this season as much as I can.

Thank you to everyone who has shown so much love and support for my little bakery and my family. It truly means more than you know. 🥹🤍

There’s something so satisfying about waking up a sleepy sourdough starter. 🤎🍞 After a long nap in the fridge, Fern is officially getting fed and getting ready to do her thing again! 😂

I’m not quite ready to jump back into full time baking just yet, but I’m SO excited to start making bread for my family again and maybe sneak in a few extra loaves here and there. 🥖✨ It feels really good to slowly find my way back into the kitchen 🤍

Here’s to waking up the starter, warming up the oven, and getting back to doing something I love. 🍞🌿

One thing about sourdough blueberry muffins… you’ve got to mix them gently🥣

Overmixing develops too much gluten, which can leave you with dense, chewy muffins instead of those soft, fluffy bakery style ones we all love. This little dough whisk has become one of my favorite tools in the bakery🫶🏻 The loop in the middle lets the batter pass right through it, so I can gently fold everything together without smashing all the blueberries. 🫐😂

I don’t have to wonder if I’ve mixed enough or worry about overdoing it. It gets everything incorporated quickly, and my blueberries stay whole instead of turning the batter purple😆 Such a simple tool, but I reach for it every single time I make muffins🙌🏻🫐

I have a theory…. pregnancy cravings create the best bakery recipes😆🤍

I’ve been spending some extra time experimenting with new recipes and ideas for the bakery. Some ideas become instant favorites, and others send me right back to the mixing bowl😅😆

🥥🍍This one, though… I think we have a winner 🙌🏻 Buttery, tender, and filled with sweet pineapple and coconut, these scones are lightly golden on the outside and soft on the inside🥥🍍

Creating new recipes is one of my favorite parts of this little bakery, and getting to share them with all of you makes it even sweeter. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one. 💛☀️

🌾 Active Starter vs. Discard 🥣
One of the most common sourdough questions I get is, “What’s the difference?”

✨ Active Starter
An active starter has been recently fed, is bubbly, and has doubled in size. It’s full of natural yeast and bacteria and is strong enough to make bread rise. This is what I use to bake all of my sourdough loaves!!

🥣 Discard
Discard is simply unfed starter. It has already been fermented, but it no longer has enough strength to reliably make bread rise on its own.
Even though it’s called “discard” you don’t have to throw it away! It’s perfect for recipes like pancakes, waffles, crackers, cookies, muffins, and brownies.

🤍 A fun fact.. Since discard has already been fermented, it still has all that wonderful sourdough flavor and has already begun breaking down some of the gluten proteins during fermentation. If you mix it with fresh flour though that new flour won’t get those same fermentation benefits unless it’s given time to ferment too. That’s why everything made with “discard” gets a long fermentation over here!!

The easiest way to remember it is this
🌾 Active starter = Rise
🥣 Discard = Flavor
Neither one is better they just have different jobs!

Did you already know the difference, or did you think discard had to be thrown away? 👇🤎
