🌾✨ Did You Know?

Your sourdough starter doesn’t always need the same feeding ratio! 👀

A 1:1:1 feed is perfect for regular maintenance, but if your starter is peaking too quickly, try a 1:2:2 or even 1:5:5 ratio to give it more food and a longer fermentation. 🥣⏳

The right feeding ratio can make the difference between a weak starter and a loaf with amazing oven spring, beautiful ears, and an open crumb! 🍞✨

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Knowing the right internal temperature is one of those small details that can completely change your sourdough results. 🍞🌡️

Many bakers rely on color alone, but checking the internal temperature helps you know when your loaf is fully baked, reducing the risk of a gummy crumb and giving you more consistent results.

These are the little tips that make a big difference. That’s why I created this Did You Know? series—to share practical baking knowledge every sourdough baker should know.

Here’s to fresh starts, second chances, and the smell of homemade bread filling the kitchen once again. ❤️

🍞 Stop guessing! A simple thermometer is one of the easiest ways to know when your bread is perfectly baked. 🌡️

🎯 Aim for an internal temperature of 96–98°C (205–210°F) for most artisan and sourdough loaves.

Do you know the magic temperature? Watch until the end! 👀
