Day Three: Time

I touched on this in yesterdays post but #Sourdough takes time… today is my delivery day to my subscribers and I fed the #sourdoughstarter (Old Gregg to commemorate Noel starting on #gbbo 🤣) on Sunday evening.

The starter takes time – overnight is perfect in the winter. Monday morning, I add water, flour, salt and spend the day nurturing and stretching the dough as I get on with admin and anything else that needs doing. Monday evening, I shape and leave overnight. Tuesday morning I turn on my #rofco and while it warms, I start on my classic loaves and soup (and once a month preserves)

Both classic and sourdough bake once the oven has heated up and my subscribers have lovely fresh loaves delivered to their doors by Tuesday afternoon/evening.

Bread baking has made me slow down and relax like you wouldn’t believe – it has to be a slow process ❤🍞 In my classes I encourage people to find their own ways to fit in bread making into their own lives – it can be done! 😊👍🏻 #microbakery #Exeter #Devon #DevonFoodie #DevonFoodArmy #bakingathome #breadmaking #igsourdough #igbreadclub #flourwatersalt #flourwatersaltyeast

I'd previously made bread at home using a machine but was never satisfied with the result so the "Introduction to Breadmaking" seemed a good place to start!  The teacher (Boudicca) explained things clearly but kept the mood of the course upbeat and fun... I like the 'zero waste' and 'reducing food miles' ethos of this company. I'm planning to bake bread for my family as a result of attending this so it really was worthwhile.
