If you’re ready to start sourdough, check out Chaya Suri Leitner’s method. She makes it so easy. Yes, it’s on your mind for a day, but anyone can pull it off. Really!!
Isuccumbed. I fell for the trend, hook, line, and sinker. Like thousands of other people in quarantine, I started my own sourdough starter (thanks to Chaya Suri Leitner, of Spice and Zest, and her amazing courses), and I’ve been making a few loaves a week ever since.
My joining the bandwagon had nothing to do with trendiness (unfortunate coincidence), it was just timing. I was primarily excited about the health benefits, secondly motivated by the fantastic flavor, and ultimately challenged by the creative and scientific process.
Many times over the past few months, I found myself questioning why in the world I’d thought a new “pet” was a good idea with everyone at home. When I really considered it, though, that was actually why I was able to pull it off: I was in the kitchen anyway, so babysitting the starter was just one more thing to check off. (For the record, I’ve accumulated lots of pets that require TLC these days: vegetable plants, an above-ground pool, and my trusty Roomba.)
