Wondering what happens if you let sourdough proof too long? 🍞

If you leave it to proof for an extended period, the sourdough will eventually use up all its food source (starches and sugars) and over ferment. This can lead to over proofed dough, resulting in a flat, dense, or overly sour loaf of bread. 😮

To avoid this, keep an eye out for these 4 signs that your sourdough has finished proofing:
1️⃣ The dough has doubled in size.
2️⃣ It has a bubbly and airy texture.
3️⃣ When gently pressed, the dough retains an indent.
4️⃣ A slight tangy smell is present.

Remember, rescuing over proofed sourdough is possible but more challenging. So, monitor your dough`s proofing time to achieve deliciously fluffy bread every time! Happy baking! 🥖✨

Attention Homestead Moms! 🌻🍂🌾 Fall is here and it`s the perfect time to start planning your fall garden. Here are 5 tips to help you get started:
1️⃣ Choose the right plants: Look for plants that thrive in cooler temperatures, such as lettuce, kale, spinach, and broccoli.

2️⃣ Prep your soil: Make sure your soil is well-drained and has plenty of nutrients. Consider adding compost or other organic matter to improve the soil quality.

3️⃣ Protect your plants: As the temperatures start to drop, be sure to protect your plants from frost and cold winds. Cover them with blankets or tarps, or consider using a cold frame or greenhouse.

4️⃣ Water wisely: While it`s important to keep your plants hydrated, be careful not to overwater them. Too much water can lead to root rot and other issues. Water deeply and infrequently, and try to water in the morning to avoid excess moisture overnight.

5️⃣ Harvest regularly: Don`t forget to harvest your crops regularly to keep them healthy and productive. Plus, you`ll get to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

🦋 Did you know? Monarch butterflies are incredible creatures with fascinating facts! Check out these interesting tidbits about them:

1️⃣ Monarchs have slow-motion clapping wings. Their wings flap at a leisurely pace, making them unique among butterflies.

2️⃣ Every year, monarchs in the USA travel an astounding 3,000 miles! Talk about an epic migration.

3️⃣ Monarchs are poisonous. They obtain toxins from milkweed plants, which makes them unpalatable to predators.

4️⃣ The caterpillars of monarch butterflies are equally fascinating. They munch on milkweed leaves and absorb toxic compounds, becoming toxic themselves.

5️⃣ Monarchs can be found not only in North America but also in Central and South America, Australia, some Pacific Islands, India, and Western Europe.

6️⃣ These amber beauties are excellent flyers. Monarchs can fly long distances, and their flight patterns are mesmerizing.

7️⃣ Adult monarchs undergo massive migrations from August to October. It`s awe-inspiring to see them fly across vast distances.

8️⃣ Monarch butterflies, scientifically known as Danaus plexippus, have a strong affinity for milkweed plants as their primary food source.

9️⃣ Female monarch butterflies lay tiny eggs coated with a sticky substance on the underside of milkweed leaves. Talk about careful parenting!

🔟 Monarchs are a symbol of resilience and transformation. With each generation, they continue the remarkable journey of life.

Do you have too many tomatoes? and not enough time to can them?

Freeze them for a rainy day!!

Summertime is crazy here, so I freeze our tomatoes and save them until I have a slow day where I have enough time to can them. I`ll thaw them out and make sauce. I`ll also slice them up in chunks and can them for soups and various recipes.

Wash. Dry. Cut. Put them in a freezer bag. Freeze and that`s all!
