SOURDOUGH | crazyjmom

Crazy J Sourdough:

My journey began when my husband brought home some sourdough starter from a friend this past April and I completely got obsessed. Ended up creating my own starter, and now I bake 4 loaves a day—one to keep for the family, and the rest to give away to friends and neighbors. Throughout the whole 58-60 hours it takes me to create a loaf, I purposefully pray for the families the loaves will go to. When I'm not aware of who the recipients will be, they still get prayed for 'cuz in the end, God knows. 😊

Below are examples of loaves that I regularly make. You can view videos of scoring techniques on Instagram and TikTok.
