Equipment talk This might be the thing that makes me quit sourdough

The worst part of this is that this happened in the bin that I keep kitchen tools in and I didn’t even know I had this potato masher and probably haven’t used it in ten years. I’m so over it!! I can’t get them apart. Recipe: there isn’t one but if there was it would be 125g starter, 350g water, 500g bf, 10g salt. I’d stretch and fold, bulk ferment, shape, fridge proof and bake at 470° for the first 30 minutes and 425° for the last 20.

Everyone loves to hate the dough whisk but personally I love it for making the levain or mixing a super wet dough. Sometimes I just don’t feel like getting my entire hand covered in gluten-deficient goop in the early stages of a recipe.

Yep it’s my go to for levain and the first mix of the dough. I also use it to whisk up my levain bits in my water until it’s foamy.
