I care if: ✔️ my family eats it✔️ it tastes good✔️ it works for everyday life✔️ I didn’t spend all day babysitting dough Somewhere along the way, sourdough got… complicated. Perfect scoring. Perfect crumb. Perfect photos. Perfect rules. Meanwhile I’m over here thinking: "Can this become toast tomorrow?" Because to me, functional bread beats impressive bread. That’s pretty much...
