Building a Levain

Building a levain

In order to bake with your starter, you have to build it up. How I do this is pour about ½ cup of starter that needs to be fed into a bowl leaving about ½ cup in the jar. Feed what’s in your jar like normal then set it aside. Add ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of
water to your bowl of starter, stir it around, and let it sit for awhile…

The Alaska Life

Alaska is a place unlike any other that I’ve visited. It is the kind of place where you go to visit, but never leave because its hooks sink deep into your heart and make you feel home.
