Welcome to an extra special episode of Honest Abe Living in the Kitchen! 🍞 In this episode, we invite you to join our recent Sourdough Bread Workshop at Honest Abe Log Homes, where participants learned much more than just how to bake bread. Under the guidance of the talented Taylor Birdwell, we explored the art of sourdough baking, from crafting the perfect dough to understanding the fermentation process.
The class also dove into the importance of gut health and how sourdough bread can be a healthier option for your family. Taylor shared insights on the benefits of this type of bread, including how sourdough is easier to digest and can support overall wellness—proof that delicious bread can also be good for you! After highlights from the workshop, Taylor shares her personal journey of how she discovered her passion for sourdough. Her story is sure to inspire you to try your hand at this rewarding tradition. In the second half of the episode, April Patterson brings the workshop full circle.
Using the dough made during the class, April demonstrates how to bake it into perfectly crusty, golden sourdough bread. This episode is about more than bread—it’s about community, wellness, and finding joy in creating something with your hands. Whether you’re an experienced baker or just curious about sourdough, you’ll leave with the inspiration (and the knowledge) to start your own sourdough journey.
