I have discovered a new love for baking during this quarantine. Maybe it is the lower altitude in New Castle, or maybe I’ve developed more patience over the years, but one thing is for sure – I’ve definitely stepped up my baking game. For me, it is an almost meditative experience.
I also need to say that no other recipe has ever brought me as much joy as my first loaf of sourdough bread did – and I have made a LOT of recipes. So before you write this off for being too hard or too time-consuming, hear me out.
