Baking for a farmers market with Missouri weather is tricky business, one minute it's sunshine and birds chirping, the next you're checking radar like it's your full-time job.
Meanwhile, your sourdough starter is sitting there wondering if it's baking day or not. 😂🥖🌪️
Hope to see you all at the Republic Farmers Market bring your umbrellas l!☔️ 😅… or not in case there’s tornadoes or snow 🙃

I realized I got so busy with the farmers market that I never shared how my Lievito madre experiment turned out! 😅

After mixing up the two doughs and letting them proof, it was pretty clear that this stiff starter has some serious strength! It was ready about half an hour before the other dough, and you could really see the difference. It had a much more noticeable dome and SO much lifting power!

Then both loaves went into the fridge to cold proof overnight before baking. And you can definitely see the difference in the rise! 🍞

The taste was different too! Instead of that almost vinegary sourness, the Lievito loaf had more of a yogurt-like tang. Still sourdough, but noticeably less acidic and a little more mellow.

I can’t wait to try making some sweet treats with this starter next! 🍩✨

It’s ready to bake!! Look at her! 😮✨

Today I’ll be making two sourdough bread doughs, and I’ll be using the same techniques I always use for my classic sourdough loaves. The only difference? The starters!

I’m so curious to see how they compare and what kind of magic each one brings to the bread. 🍞✨

Stay tuned for the results! 🧚‍♀️🌿

✨ Lievito Madre update! ✨

After gradually feeding her less and less water with each feeding, she now looks like THIS! So different! 😅

Instead of just mixing flour and water together like I do with my regular sourdough starter, I really have to work the flour in, then roll her up and slice an X across the top—almost like I’m shaping and scoring a little loaf of bread! 😂

All of this helps create a strong, healthy community of our millions of tiny little “yeast babies” 🥹🧚‍♀️ and encourages the strongest, most active ones to thrive.

And that’s the goal! A strong Lievito Madre should give me a **stronger, higher rise** in my breads. 🍞✨

I’m really fascinated by how different this little starter is from my usual sourdough!
