This mornings video includes some information that will give us a better understanding of the “WHY” things happen as they do with our sourdough starter! I believe that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, and we will build on this knowledge in the next few days as we prepare to make our 1st gluten free sourdough loaf!

Please watch the whole video (about 10 mins of education, with feeding at the end), you won’t regret it I promise! It’s only 10 mins of your time which will give you a lifetime of better sourdough! I will share with you what I know and we will gain some education from another home baker whom I admire, Hendrik, from “The Bread Code“. He is a self proclaimed science geek (like I am) so I think we are kindred spirits 🙂

On Day 11, we only have to feed our starters 1 x and we have no educational material, so its a quickie! So think of it as using your time from tomorrow, today! Enjoy!
