If you are intimidated by sourdough, you might be believing some common myths! I’m thrilled to have Anja joining me again on the podcast to talk about the very simple processes we use to make sourdough products an everyday staple in our homes. Anja grew up eating and baking sourdough with her mother, so it is a process she has spent decades becoming comfortable with. We hope to encourage you not to overcomplicate the sourdough process. Keep things simple, and find a rhythm that works for you. Sourdough is an adaptable and forgiving process that offers incredible nutritional benefits, so it is definitely worth learning!
In this episode, we cover:
A step-by-step look at Anja’s German sourdough process that makes sourdough simple for anyone
Addressing the ways that people overcomplicate sourdough
