Traditions to Ponder

My Sourdough Journey

A question I had about baking and nutrition was  floating around in my mind: could I learn to make my own bread healthful and more delicious than store-bought? It was during the second year of the pandemic here in the USA. I learned that sourdough is much more digestible and nutritious. Good digestion and good nutrition, and good taste, are important! The waft of the bread imagined was coming through my mind-waves. It took a while, but I learned a new thing! I have now made loaves of bread with my own starter, and from scratch. I do not use the little packets of yeast for this bread. I also make other things like sourdough griddle cakes (pancakes) in cast iron. I make my own version of a more nourishing butter syrup to accompany them. 

A favorite are the  English muffins I learned from my baking class. Another favourite are the soaked oatmeal egg breakfast muffins. I use my sourdough starter for that.

Though I am a pastor’s wife, my life doesn’t end there. I like good humor even more than pastors’ jokes but not more than my husband’s coffee. I like Tolkien and Lewis (authors) I’m bilingual, English and Spanish. I am tapping into Portuguese. Topics: Christian living, traditional lifestyles, missionary living, pastor’s wife, nutrition and food, and not your average education (home education abroad). I learn, teach, and do Bible studies, and translate.
