Ok friends, quick sourdough debate! 🍞🤔
If someone is brand new to sourdough, is it better to have them make their own starter from scratch, or just buy some dehydrated starter to get going? 🤷♀️✨
Making your own starter is such a magical, hands-on experience—watching it bubble and grow, learning how wild yeast behaves, and forming a real bond with your dough. 🫧💛 But it does take patience, attention, and a few days of care.
Buying dehydrated starter? Instant action! ⚡ You can skip the waiting, but you miss out on that whole “starter baby” journey and the chance to really understand your dough.
If I were teaching someone new, I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you encourage the adventure, or start them off easy? 🥖💫
