May not be my 1st loaf but I’m still very new to this. Today I threw some herbs in and while I can’t see them (nw t time I’ll add more) it smells amazing! @Sandra Brenes curious why the bigger holes at the bottom once I slice it open ?

Drop a pic of your first loaf! Let's celebrate you & your loaf! If you haven't made your first loaf yet Let's Do it! Go to the Course "Your First Loaf: Start Here" and follow the lessons.

I did my first baking yesterday. Here is a picture of the final product. I feel like I panicked & forgot everything you taught us in class, but then went with “it’s not that serious” just keep going. Now my biggest confusion is my next feed (I fed Saturday) do I discard some starter before I feed again? Meet “Doughlene’s” first baby!

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...
