Daily Rambling

I guess I can use this space as somewhat of a daily journal and blog my current thoughts are ideas. I recently started selling my sourdough after multiple people have requested to buy my bread. It's nice to hear people enjoy what you're making, but doing it for fun and trying to make money from it are two different animals. Messing up when you're having fun, that's easy, scrap it and start over again. When you're selling bread for money, there is less room for error and, in my opinion, more focus and making sure everything is perfect. The last thing I want is people to spend money on something they don't like or think is worth what they paid. While I have gotten positive feedback, I still have a certain hidden anxiety that they're just being polite. I don't think they'd continue to buy bread from me continuously if that were true, but that's my own personal battle with coming to terms with maybe I am good enough. With the seasons changing, I am forced to switch up my process do to temperature change. My usual overnight process has taken a back seat for the time being and I am currently doing a shortened bulk and longer proof. I am so used to doing the overnight process, that i often worry that the shortened bulk and longer proof is going to backfire and the loaves will end up mediocre or just plain shit. Again, I've had success with this method in current runs, but maybe the switch up has be second guessing it until I've tested it over and over to know it's full proof. That's all for now.
