    Thank you so much for your step-by-step guidance; it is just what I needed, and truly an answer to prayer. I purchased a GF Sourdough Cookbook but it provided only a fraction of what you offer online. I had already begun building my starter when I switched to your site, and so I missed using the pineapple juice at the start. However, with your directions, I kept going and I experienced success – thanks to you! My first loaf was beautiful and tasty. I hadn’t been able to eat bread since 2019 and now I have to keep it out of sight so as not to overindulge. I so appreciate the science lessons you provide; now I have a response when others ask me why I have to do what I do to make GF Sourdough. I know this is just the beginning and I look forward to many more success stories! With sincere appreciation, Vicki

    1. Oh Vicki, you have just brought me to tears! This is the reason I started all of this, to genuinely help people. I am so thrilled that I could help bring the joy of baking AND eating 🤪 bread back into your life. You are so very welcome. Thank you so very much for your kind words and for taking the time to comment.

      Love and hugs,
      ♡ Trish

    Gluten free! I am so excited to be able to make an option for family members and friends that can’t have gluten. Nothing like fresh baked break when visitors come over! And bread 🍞 that is gluten free!! Thanks for the recipe.
