April 1st is a special day - it is #sourdoughbreadday How many of you have ventured into the world of #sourdoughbaking ? It has been a blessing learning more about true sourdough baking during this pandemic. I am grateful to @sourdoughschoolhouse 🥖 I learn something with every loaf, bun or focaccia that I make - practice, practice, practice! Even the imperfectly perfect ones are delicious! #sourdough #sourdoughlove #baking #bakingfromscratch #bakingtherapy (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHHDADBNpK/?igshid=iv2ezmesyyyr

St. Patrick’s Day would not be complete without Irish Soda Bread studded with currants. Soda bread can be mixed up quickly from very few ingredients. This version is made with buttermilk - in my opinion, the best ever. #stpatricksday #irishsodabread #buttermilk #sodabread #bakedfromscratch #delicious #deliciousfood #baking #bakinglove (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiYFIdhQ7e/?igshid=1xcwpvkt4it86

I love making these sourdough bagels! The dough is so much fun to play with. They disappear so quickly.
