THINGS I STOPPED DOING ONCE I GOT BETTER AT SOURDOUGH.
Started paying attention to my dough instead. Temperature, rise, bubbles, and how it actually feels tell me more than a recipe’s timeline ever will.
A good loaf doesn’t need a crumb full of tunnels. I want bread that tastes good, has great texture, and can actually hold a sandwich.
I realized I didn’t need a dozen steps, fancy techniques, or an overly complicated schedule to make consistently good bread. I found a process that worked and stuck with it.
You don’t need an impossible-to-handle dough to make incredible sourdough. Finding a hydration level you can consistently work with is far more useful.
I didn’t need to offer every trending flavor, recipe, or baked good I saw online. I made what I genuinely enjoyed baking, perfected my own recipes, and built my menu around that.
