Day 2 of GF sourdough starter experiment! Let it rise! We definitely had some growth and bubbles this morning after a healthy discard and feeding last night! This is looking hopeful but will it bread??? Stay tuned!

🍞✨ A NEW PROJECT IS BEGINNING! ✨🍞

By MANY requests, I’m officially starting my first GF sourdough starter! 🎉

This little experiment is made with a mixture of brown rice flour, sweet rice flour, and water. 🌾💧

I’m hoping for some great results, but now comes the waiting game! ⏳ Establishing a healthy sourdough starter can take up to 7 days, so I’ll be documenting the process and sharing the progress along the way.

Will it bubble? Will it rise? Will we end up with delicious gluten-free sourdough? 🤞🍞

Follow along and let’s see how this little starter turns out! 💕

If you’d like to grab some sourdough or a few treats for your Friday, send me a message and I’ll do my best to fit you in. ❤️

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding! I’ll be back at it soon, with a little family time recharged and ready to bake! 🍞✨

It’s officially August! That means crunch time to fit in everything I want to do before school starts begins! I will be posting when my pop up dates are the weekend prior to try and keep everyone in the loop. I’m going to try and do every other weekend still but it may change due to life events so keep a lookout in my page! I am still accepting orders for every weekend even on weekends the shed isn’t open so please don’t hesitate to click the online ordering link to place your orders 😊 https://bakesy.shop/b/chaffee-country-baker-llc

🌾🍞 A Little Schedule Change! 🍞🌾
Hi friends! I wanted to let everyone know that the next Bread Shed Pop-Up will be moved to Sunday, July 26 instead of Saturday. ❤️
I’ll be spending Saturday at a special event with my kids, and family time is something I always treasure. Thank you so much for understanding and supporting this little bakery—it truly means the world to me!
✨ The good news? I’m still taking orders for the weekend, and I highly encourage you to order early so you don’t miss out on your favorites! My breads, bagels, scones, cookies, and other goodies are made in limited quantities, and once orders are full, that’s it for the weekend.
🥖 Don’t wait—place your order now to reserve your treats:�https://bakesy.shop/b/chaffee-country-baker-llc
Thank you all for supporting my small business and allowing me to enjoy these special family moments. I can’t wait to see you at the Bread Shed on Sunday, July 26! 💛🏡🍞
