Mommy’s Yummy Bread: Why My Starter Gets Better Sleep Than I Do

I’ve tucked my starter into warmer spots in the kitchen more times than I can count.

Not too hot.

Not too cold.

Just right.

Meanwhile, I’m running on caffeine and hope.

The Art of “Just Let It Be”

Some days the starter is thriving. Other days it’s sluggish. And the worst thing I can do is panic and mess with it too much.

Sourdough has taught me that sometimes the best move is to leave things alone.

No poking.

No overthinking.

No fixing what isn’t broken.

I wish I learned that sooner… in life and in baking.
