Our sourdough starter is more than just a collection of flour and water. It is a living, breathing entity that has been a part of our family for years.
Caring for our sourdough starter is a daily ritual that I take great pride in. Each morning, I wake up early to feed it, making sure that it has enough flour and water to thrive. I watch as it bubbles and grows, the yeasts and bacteria working together to create the delicious, tangy flavor that we all love.
But the care and attention that I give to my sourdough starter is not just about keeping it alive. It is about creating something that nourishes and feeds our family. Each loaf of bread that I bake with it is a labor of love, the result of hours of care and attention.
As I knead the dough and shape it into loaves, I can’t help but think about all of the meals that will be shared around our table. The warm, comforting aroma that fills our home as the bread bakes is a reminder of the love and care that goes into every loaf.
Our sourdough starter is not just a part of our family, it is a vital member. It has nourished us for years and will continue to do so for many years to come. I am honored to be its caretaker and to be able to share its delicious creations with those I love.
