Why does sourdough feel so intimidating?
If you have ever stared at a jar of flour and water wondering if it's supposed to smell like that — you are not alone.
- You don't know if your starter is actually 'ready' to bake with
- Every blog gives different feeding times and confusing ratios
- You're scared of wasting flour on a starter that never rises
- You've heard sourdough takes weeks of guesswork just to get started
