Welcome to Sourdough Alchemy
I’m so excited to share my passion for sourdough with you! What started as a simple curiosity has turned into a full-blown love affair with all things flour, water, and wild yeast. There’s just something magical about turning the most basic ingredients into a loaf that’s alive with flavor and character.
Beyond the irresistible crust and chewy crumb, sourdough is actually good for you—easier to digest, lower on the glycemic index, and full of gut-friendly bacteria that make it a smarter choice for your body.
Whether you’re here to bake your first loaf or to perfect your favorite recipe, I hope you’ll find inspiration, tips, and a little bit of that everyday kitchen magic in every post.
