This is what one year of not giving up looks like.
I made my own starter from scratch January 15th 2025 and my very first loaf January 18th 2025 (my starter was NOT strong enough but I didn’t know any better) and to be honest, I was beyond proud of this loaf. I was just trying to understand sourdough and the process and boy was it a learning curve.
There were many failed attempts, many late night researching sessions, many thoughts of giving up, many many many tears were involved.
And then one day, it just clicked and it started making sense. From watching YouTube videos and reels and taking an online class to understand the just a piece of the sourdough world.
Trial after trial after trial I couldnt stop even after so many failed attempts. If anyone knows me, I don’t give up just because someone or something tells me I can’t do it. If anything, that motivates me to prove them wrong and that’s exactly what I did with Crustopher. That is a wild yeast I have tamed. t
