Breakfast Sandwiches
Stack of Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches

If you’re a fan of sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches from places like Starbucks, you’ll love this homemade version. The eggs bake all at once in the oven, so it’s easy to make a whole tray for a crowd or stash a few in the fridge for breakfasts throughout the week. Either way, they’re so much better than anything you’ll get at the drive-thru.

[Day 1: Sourdough Starter Challenge] Mix Your Starter


Hello,

Welcome to Day 1 of the Sourdough Starter from Scratch Challenge!

Today your job is simple: stir together 192 grams each of flour and water. That's it!

Here's your daily video guidance:

Remember to record your work! I promise you will forget what day you started and what day you did what if you don't... this is a very repetitive process, and the days begin to blur.

Biggest Tip For Success: Keep Your Starter Cozy

If your kitchen is on the cool side, you can create a warm environment for storing your starter by preheating your oven for 1 minute, then turning it off.

Ideally, the cozy place you create will be between 70ºF (21ºC) and 80ºF (26ºC).

Another idea: Turn the oven light on for 10 to 15 minutes, then shut it off. I caution against keeping the oven light on the entire time because it potentially will create a too-warm space (especially in a newer oven) that might kill your starter.

As noted yesterday, a great tool to invest in is an ambient temperature thermometer, as it will help you accurately gauge the temperature of the cozy spaces you create to help your starter thrive.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask them here.

Happy Cooking,


Alexandra Stafford
