i am 17 years old, grew up in a VERY christian environment but by the time i turned 13 social media got me into very feminist ideas that made me question God and shame motherhood. however, you keep making me see the beauty in being a woman. you make me trust in God's plan for family and trust it's good and pleasant. thank you for that!

I enjoy these on repeat in the background of my own kitchen adventures- the music and overall feel of these videos is lovely👌and inspiring!

I would love a “cooking through my pantry or freezer” type of video! The kind where you’re at the end of your budget for the week and have to throw scraps together to create something for everyone to eat.

Thanks for this enjoyable content 💕

Quick tip for lining a bread tin (or any tin) turn it upside down, put the paper over the outside of it and you can fold it to shape around the corners, then lift it off and just slot it inside.

Perfect timing! I just made a starter about 5 days ago and I’m in the thick of so much discarding and feeding to try and get it going. It’s one the highlights of my day to check on my starter and feed it 😅

I’m taking a sourdough class next week at a local cooking store and I will be getting a started from someone who’s had it for years and years with many many MANY different types of flours and good stuff! I’m so excited. I’d consider myself a pretty good bread baker to begin with but I’m ready to level up with sourdough. This video got me so pumped. 😅

I've been doing sourdough for about 9 months by now. Its definitely overwhelming at first - I found 2 channels that were helpful. Bake with Jack and Culinary Exploration... I was getting so stressed with the sourdough discards and feeding schedule. Now I use the 'scrapings' method and only feed my starter the night before I intend to make dough (the following morning). Works for me, and the starter lives in the fridge until feeding time. I make bread 1-2x per week (and doesn't stress me out trying to come up with things to make with the discard). What I have learned is there are likely a thousand different variations to making sourdough - all produce bread, some very good bread. Now instead of getting overwhelmed by all the information I enjoy seeing how others do theirs and I pick up whatever is useful to me along the way.
My dutch oven broke recently (chipped) and I haven't replaced it yet so ive been baking in a bread tin with a water bath below. The loaf isnt as lofty as the dutch oven but its also nice to know I can improvise in a pinch.

This is exactly what I needed today, thank you!!❤ I so relate to the migraines part, mine weren’t as severe but definitely had a root in the diet as well. Glad you are doing much better now!

My 2-year old, super healthy starter, was recently accidentally thrown out 😢 Started a new one now with a broken heart. Your last video is actually what got me to start a new one, immediately after the loss. Without that motivation and out of sadness, I probably would have waited a long while to get it going again. So thank you ! Your content is awesome.

Your website is amazing, a page on it will all the info contained in this video would be so so helpful too!! Have been on a journey with sourdough for about a year and a half now and your way is so different to any other I’ve encountered and I thought my started was broken because it didn’t double in four hours 🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you for sharing the wisdom Sara!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[kelseysmith]

This was so wholesome and honestly these videos hit my inbox on a Friday evening and are the perfect wind down. Thanks! 🌻

Thanks so much for posting this video! Sourdough breadmaking is definitely an art and everyone has their own style for doing it; sometimes finding the right method to doing it can be tricky!

Sarah you brighten my day thank you💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[maggiewhiteside]

I learned a lot from this video. I love those jars you use. I also love your kitchen. Great video, keep up the great work

[bloomthyself]

Thank you so I’m so excited to dive in deep my sourdough journey! I was so intimidated but seeing this gave me peace, joy, love and confidence!!!!

[lakliams]

If i needed to use a scale to make sourdough i wouldn't make it😅 you are one good mama🤗 you inspire me, i need the patience you have, so happy that you're back

[JulianaFrugalMinimalMom]

side note, but it's not at all true that if you have a lot of starter to feed then it won't ferment properly and all the other stuff she said. I follow farmhouse on boone and she has a huge jar of it, and i myself have a huge thing of it, it's bubbly alive and well. I find that having a huge jar of starter helps me constantly use it and make tons of things with it without too much planning and prepping

[kelleyleblanc]

I noticed eating anything made with sourdough doesn’t bother my stomach. I love love love baking so I was so sad when my goodies or bread made me sick. Now I bake everything using my sourdough and I love baking again!
Your videos have given me new ideas and I fairly regularly make your sweet sourdough bread :)

[laurenweinberger]

Oh my gosh!!!! Your absolutely amazing. I commented wanting to know how you got your starter. I didn’t think you’d have time to go over it but I’m so so greatful for this video!!! Thank you so much! God is so good!💜

THANK YOUUU!!!! I’ve been waiting for this video it feels like forever ❤️
