Been a minute since I posted. Made some fresh sourdough tortillas yesterday and even the kids got in on making these. I think sourdough tortillas might be my favorite over bread. Just maybe 🤔

Once the starter is bubbly and ready… it’s time!
Spring water, flour, salt, measuring cups, a wooden spoon and my hands 🙌 (not pictured).
Just simple ingredients coming together the slow way.
From here, we mix, rest, and let time do its work 🤍

This is where it all begins 🤍
Just flour + water + time.
Before the golden crust.
Before the crackle when you slice it.
Before it fills your kitchen with that cozy, fresh-baked smell.
Sourdough starts here — bubbly, alive, and a little messy. It takes patience. Feeding. Resting. Waiting. And a whole lot of trust in the process.
What I love most? There’s no rushing it. The dough decides when it’s ready.
From this simple starter to the loaves coming out of my oven, it’s all made the slow way, the natural way.

More behind-the-scenes to come 🤍

Hi, I’m Tara, and this little bakery started during a season I didn’t see coming. After being laid off and going through a government shutdown with my husband, life felt uncertain. What started as something to pass the time in my kitchen slowly became something more. I fell in love with the simplicity of sourdough: just flour, water, salt, and time. No shortcuts. No unnecessary ingredients. Just real, honest bread.
What began as therapy turned into joy. Early mornings. Flour-covered counters. Experimentations gone right and wrong. And now, I’m ready to share it with you.
Ski Mountain Bakery is built on simple ingredients, natural fermentation, and a whole lot of heart. 🤍
Thank you for being here at the beginning and following along on this sourdough journey with me.
