Quarantine Sourdough... or what I did on spring break part 1

One would think being on lockdown during a pandemic would give a person so much more time to blog! In my case, apparently not.

I have, however, over the past few months, discovered the joys of sourdough baking. I would like to genuinely thank the early pandemic yeast hoarders for basically forcing me to explore sourdough.

I wouldn't have done it without you.

Rather than go into explicit details right now, I'm just going to post of photos of my journey and get back to the actual process later.


Name- Tamagotchi
Date of birth- 4/6/20

First attempt- utter failure
This was AFTER baking

Second attempt- getting there...

Found the sweet spot!

Experimenting with scoring patterns

And different shapes






Then I figured out how to make/bake two loaves at once



In part 2, I'll give you the links I used to start my own starter, and how easy it is to make this bread once you have active sourdough!
