Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️🥖 I loaf you guys! I have had a lot of fun baking up these I loaf you loaves and as a fun side note, you can cut the heart ear off the loaf and serve up with some bruschetta as a crostini. So delicious and definitely my favorite part of these loaves. I hope everyone has had an amazing Valentine’s Day and an even better weekend. Also remember… • • Don’t diet.

So quick recap. My starter had just gotten to peak rise and I put it in the fridge. Removed it the next day, let it get to room temperature, and then baked with it. Super happy and surprised with how the loaf turned out. Super helpful if I have a busy day and want ti bake the following day 👍.

Ingredients: 1 cup cottage cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Cracked pepper Red crushed chili flakes Direction: Preheat your oven to 400. Spread your cottage cheese out on a parchment lined baking sheet and then grate your Parmesan on top. Add fresh cracked pepper and chili flakes and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool, add fillers of whatever you want, gently roll it up and enjoy! High protein, delicious and pretty simple. Can’t ask for much more than that, next time I would definitely add some hot sauce or something saucy for a little added kick. Is there a new recipe you’ve tried recently that you love but didn’t turn out perfectly?? You know what we call that?? Real life 🙌🙌. • • Don’t diet.

Welcome back to Day 4 with our new starter!!!🍞🥖 I am really happy with the activity I am seeing in our new starter and can confidently say… so far so good👍👍. I talked about the activity I saw but the other thing I was really happy with is the smell😍, slightly fruity and sweet smelling, perfect 👍. I’ve made a lot of starters and definitely had my fair share of flops, but seeing rising activity already on day 4 is pretty awesome 🙌. We will probably start marking the rise and fall levels tomorrow and see what we can observe. Hope you guys are enjoying this sourdough journey with me, and I hope you’re looking forward to some more 👍👍. • • Don’t diet.

We’re mincin’ garlic!🧄🔪 It’s always kind of a bummer when you’re ready to prep a meal and you have everything except… GARLIC!!! And let’s face it. You HAVE to have garlic. Even though this can be a bummer I feel it is important to still have fun, whether it’s humming a tune, singing or having a long drawn out conversation with your dog about everything happening in the world ( all of which I have done ). Anyway, the point is… have fun. Always always always. Have fun. And.. • • Don’t diet.

Welcome back to making a sourdough starter Day 3! Sticking with our routine of 2 feedings 12 hours apart, I had a question the other day about measurements. I use grams because they tend to be more accurate and I use an electronic scale that converts easily. I totally understand that might not be convenient for some people so here are the cup conversions: 75 grams flour = leveled 1/2 cup 75 grams water = 1/3 cup • • Don’t diet.

Our starter is coming along!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 It’s hard to include in the video as I didn’t want to make these too long for you guys, but I feed my starter twice a day everyday. Once in the morning before work and then again in the evening before bed. I find that 2 feedings a day tends to yield a healthier starter once at peak activation. I am excited to see our new starter grow over the next couple of days and eventually bake our first loaf!! I’m excited to have you all on this journey with me, stay tuned!!! • • Don’t diet.

Step 1. Make a starter. Important that you start with organic, preferably stone ground wheat flour and distilled water. Not sure why distilled is favorable… I think it has to do with less minerals giving the correct bacteria a better chance to thrive. We will track this starter day by day, for about 7 to 10 days before your starter is considered “good to go” for bread making 👍 I still consider myself an amateur baker of sourdough but what I can tell you is the loaves I’ve created are super delicious, flavorful and we are all hopelessly addicted to them. Hope you guys enjoy this series of videos and please feel free to chime in with any questions, tips or tricks of the trade 👍👍. • • Don’t diet.

Maybe it’s because I have the maturity level of a 9 year old but I can’t hear someone say “ nut butters “ and not laugh 😂 😂😂 I mean it tees itself up pretty perfectly doesn’t it?? I just hope I don’t end up at a super fancy restaurant one day where they decide to serve be a sample flight of their favorite nut butters. Could be very embarrassing for me 😬😬.

Welcome to my new favorite stage in the bread prep process! I love the way it just flops out of the bowl leaving little to no dough behind. Don’t get me wrong the bread reveal, smell and taste are still number 1, but this step is definitely a lot of fun 👍👍 • • Don’t diet.

Ok so here’s what I did👍🤓 I did NOT feed my starter for over 24 hours before using it in this loaf AND I also let it cold stage ferment in the fridge for over 24 hours. I was definitely skeptical of this loaf turning out ok but honestly… I was very happy with it 👍. Good rise good burst, all in all… pretty pretty pretty good 👍. • • Don’t diet.

I had no idea what to cook the other day and I had thawed some chicken breasts. I had a jar of @montesfinefoods pasta sauce, some mozzarella @garciadelacruzoliveyou olive oil, and plenty of Parmesan. Just came together nicely, love it when thst happens. And yes… I do not bread the chicken. I love the flavors you can impart in pan fried chicken, and those flavors are only enhanced when you add the sauce and the cheese 👍. Recipe is super simple and linked in my bio 👆👆.

We are getting very close to Valentine’s Day ❤️. Seems like the perfect time for a Leftover Love story ❤️📚❤️📚 So I made this pan fried chicken parm dish the other day and there was one leftover chicken breast that just happened to be the perfect fit on a sourdough sandwich🙌. Seriously it’s like it was meant to be ❤️❤️. The Italian herb and sun dried tomato olive oil was the perfect addition to this mouth watering sandwich 🤤🤤. You know you have a good recipe when it’s leftovers scan be reinvented to things that only add to its delicious factor 👍. Oh right! Remember… • • Don’t diet.

BREAD!!! 🥖 🥖🥖 So I decided after watching some sourdough friends that I would not let my loaf rest in the banneton at room temp and skip directly to stitching and then immediately into cold stage fermentation. The stitch did not seem to hold but the loaf still baked up beautifully. Sourdough is hilarious. Every time I think it’s going to be a great bake it turns out ok, and when I’m skeptical of the bake it usually turns out amazing. Kind of like life I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️. This loaf was baked in my @lecreuset Dutch oven with flour from @kingarthurbaking 👍 Follow @cook_at_home_dad for more fun sourdough adventures 👍👍 and remember… • • Don’t diet.
