    Finally someone who shows a good sourdough tutorial wich is very EASY to repeat! Bravo!
    So many tutorials on CZcams about sourdough make it a VERY complicated thing with lots of "do" and "don't"!
    Dear viewer, don't be afraid to try to make your own sourdough starter! Eat real and healthy bread!
    It is NOT complicated and sooo much better then all these industrial "bread" imitations with lots of unnatural adds in it!
    Thank you Kitty for the humor, the energie, the big smile in your videos!
    Greetings from France.

    In case you want to skip the vid and just get the starter recipe, here it is!
    1tbsp apple skin (grated)
    2tbsp bread flour
    2tbsp warm water
    Mix in a jar, pop lid ontop and leave for 4 days then feed with another 2tbsp water and 2tbsp flour. Use the next day or pop it in the fridge! Watch end of vid to listen to me babble about starter maintenance 😉💗

They are delicious and appetizing, and it is clear that you love the profession of baking, even though it is a profession that requires a lot of patience and sacrifice. I, in turn, was a baker and know everything that this profession requires of hard work so that the customer can be patient in queuing until his turn comes.

    When folding croissants, I think there’s a beauty in rolling it maybe it’s because of how the shape looks or just knowing that the layers will rise & become extra flaky 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it is absolutely delish!
