March Challenge - Timing & Scheduling Confidence Month
Let’s be honest. Most sourdough frustration isn’t about flour. It isn’t about starter. It isn’t even about technique. It’s about timing. “When do I mix?” “When do I bake?” “What if I have work?” “What if life gets busy?” So this month, we’re simplifying everything. 🌿 The March Challenge Build a sourdough rhythm that fits your real life. Not a bakery schedule. Not an influencer schedule. Your schedule. Because sourdough should support your life — not run it. Here’s What We’re Doing This month, your goal is simple: ✔ Choose one baking day✔ Choose one timing schedule✔ Repeat it twice That’s it. No new flours. No fancy techniques. No pressure for perfection. Finding your natural rhythm. Over the next few weeks, we’ll cover: • How to choose your ideal baking day • 2–3 simple timing templates (morning mix / evening bake, weekend baker, etc.) • How to pause dough if life happens • How long bulk fermentation can flex • How to make the fridge work for you You’ll start to see that sourdough is flexible. And confidence comes from repetition — not complexity. When you have a schedule: You bake more consistently. Your dough behaves more predictably. Your confidence grows faster. And suddenly sourdough feels sustainable. That’s the goal. Step 1: Answer in the poll... Are you: 1️⃣ A morning baker2️⃣ An evening baker3️⃣ A weekend baker4️⃣ Still figuring it out Let’s build your rhythm together this month. You don’t need to bake more. You need a plan that fits your life.

I just finished my first loaf. Before I started it, I looked ahead on my calendar so I could make bread baking fit around my other commitments. That’s probably the way I’ll usually do it.
February Challenge - Starter Confidence Month
Focus: Understanding + caring for starter Challenge: Feed & Bake with your starter once per week - Reading starter readiness - Fridge-to-dough method (Sandra’s Simple Method) - Small starter maintenance If you feel intimidated by your Sourdough starter, this will be month that you get to know your starter a little bit better to help ease some of your concerns. Introduce Your Starter: Picture? Do you have name for your starter? How old is it? Did you start it from scratch or get it from a friend? What question do you have?

Hi Sandra, I took your Sourdough Made Simple class last Tuesday in Roseville. Great class! Here are some pictures of my starter. Since it came from your Big Mama, I've named it Mama mia! Today I mixed up the dough and am leaving it on the counter before I stick it in the fridge. I weighed and measured, guess I'm more type A than I thought! 😂 Here's a question for you: I'll probably only make sourdough every 3-6 weeks, so when I put Mama mia back in the fridge, how tightly should I close the mason jar lid? You can see in the photo that it's partially closed, but should I clamp it down before I put it in the fridge or leave it as is? Thanks! I'll post a follow-up picture after the bake! Andrea

Oh, now I understand why your jar had Saran Wrap on it. Thanks for the tips!
