Do you love homemade sourdough bread?

My family does, and always found making sourdough bread an effort that may—or may not!—turn out a lovely, light bread. Until I discovered the secret.

My first attempt at grinding sprouted spelt was... memorable. I’d read about the fresh flavor, but no one warned me it behaves like fairy dust. Within minutes, my kitchen sparkled like a snow globe — golden flecks everywhere, including the dog. Now I grind outdoors, feeling every bit the mountain homesteader as the wind carries away the extra flour.
