I've been doing this for 13 years. I feel still like I'm not an expert. I think because of the way I do sourdough and the way I see other people doing sourdough on blogs and very official YouTube channels and all of this. I sometimes feel like I don't know what I'm doing.

But I think a lot of you could really use that kind of advice the practical ways of getting sour dough

into your family's diet and life without it having to be perfect without it having to be

official and carefully weighed it definitely can be done very intuitively with a flow.

My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone.

That's something that will make your bread more sour.

That starter wouldn't be quite as active.

So for the bread to properly do its bulk rise and its second rise, it's going to have to have more time for that starter to work on the grains.

So that's going to make it more sour.
