I hope that over the past year I’ve been able to sway you into having a sourdough start in your kitchen.  It’s so much fun and tastes amazing.  Most of you probably think of the strong flavor of store bought sourdough bread that I was familiar with before I got my own start.  It’s much different.  It adds a lovely subtle tang to recipes and not the pungent flavor that sourdough “store bought” breads have.

Spelt Sourdough Loaf is made with half spelt flour/half unbleached flour to make the perfect flavor, moisture, and crumb combination.  I’m having so much fun trying different combinations of flours with my sourdough start~ it’s hard to pick a favorite!

If you haven’t gotten a start going, then today’s the day!!  This a great sourdough started recipe from King Arthur Flour with some awesome tips and tricks for taking care of it.  It needs a little bit of love in the form of flour and water a couple times a week if it lives out of the fridge.  If you keep it in the fridge then once a week will do it!
