Create Easy & Healthy Artisan Sourdough Breads, Cakes, and Muffins

Dear Healthy-Home Cook,

This morning, I woke up to a slice of heaven. The scent of warm sourdough bread hangs in the air from last night’s baking. The children chatter to themselves while they get ready for the day. Silently I snuck into the kitchen and this is what I saw: a large butter knife, a half-eaten loaf of bread, and crumbs scattered across the table.

I smiled to myself. This is a win.

I had succeeded in getting the children to eat life-giving food without any fuss or whining. Just happy children helping themselves to a healthy breakfast without any intervention from me… pure bliss.

It wasn’t always this easy. When I first became a mom, I fell into the trap of buying food for the sake of convenience. Pre-packaged foods that could be popped into the microwave seemed like the perfect solution for my busy days of changing diapers, nursing, and keeping house.

But then my children got sick.

Ear infections, upset tummies, allergies, and headaches became my life. Plus, I just couldn’t lose the “baby” weight.

I couldn’t face my daughter’s sad eyes anymore or listen to her cry herself to sleep from yet another earache. I dreaded seeing her tug on her ear... another ear infection was on its way.

Something had to change, but what... and how?

Could Traditional Cooking Heal My Family?

I started thinking back to my childhood. With my grandma, Tata Wardeh, in charge of the kitchen, our family gathered together for weekly baking days.

It was a special time of bonding, laughing and playing while baking enough fresh bread to last all week. My favorite treat was a flat bread pizza topped with olive oil and a savory spice blend called za’atar.

When I thought about those special family meals and compared them to the cardboard flavored Pizza Bites from the grocery store, I wondered, “Was it possible to create healthy, life-giving meals for my family that were healing, delicious, quick and convenient?”

I knew there had to be a better way.

God's Plan for Healthy Eating

We’re a Christian family, so my first instinct was to turn to the Bible. I set aside all my pre-conceived notions about cooking, and asked myself, “What exactly does the Bible say about healthy eating?”

What I saw amazed me.

God had a plan for healthy eating that didn’t involve refrigeration, preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Instead, the foods of the Bible -- like leavened bread, beans, cheese, yogurt, butter, wild or shepherded meats, fish, olive oil, honey, and wine — seemed more versatile and flavorful, beautifully rich...

In that refrigerator-less, non-industrialized promised land flowing with milk and honey, excess milk would have spontaneously soured and preserved itself. Since God put those beneficial organisms in the milk in the first place, that must have been His plan.. . .

and His perfect eating plan included bread... sourdough bread.

The secret had been hiding in plain sight!

I Challenged the Myth that "All Bread is Bad"

Armed with this amazing insight and inspiration, I started experimenting.

I began with mainstream recipes but quickly learned that they were based on unhealthy ingredients, like white flour and commercial yeast.

(Modern hybridized wheat is engineered for high gluten content to create pretty loaves of bread. But at what cost?)

And the commercial yeast was even worse.

Breads made from commercial dry yeast required me to follow strict time rules for rising and resting, were easy to kill by overheating the other ingredients, and spoiled quickly. Plus, the gluten in the flour gave my children extreme tummy aches and diarrhea.

Then I Discovered God's Natural Leavening Agent: Wild Yeast

After searching all over the Internet, I started hearing about wild yeast. Wild yeast (and it’s best friend, lactobacilli) is a hardy, happy little organism that breaks down gluten and neutralizes anti-nutrients. This allows you to easily digest gluten and absorb minerals that would otherwise be unavailable to you.

I learned that I could create my own sourdough starter, nurture the wild yeast, and bake it into healthy, life-giving breads... using ingredients I already had in my kitchen and with no extra work!

That was it. I was a woman on a mission.

Some of those early recipes were disasters. I’ve turned out plenty of hockey-puck loaves and burned pancakes. But I learned, I grew and I had a blast! (Plus, we turned plenty of those rock- hard loaves into croutons for soups and salads so nothing went to waste.)

Once I discovered the secrets of easy, healthy sourdough baking, I started turning out consistently beautiful loaves of bread and other delicacies. They rivaled anything that I could find at the best bakeries.

And even more importantly, because of the important work of the wild yeasts (to make the grains more nutritious and digestible), my whole family started to feel better. The ear infections, upset tummies, allergies, and headaches disappeared. We could finally enjoy bread again!

That’s when I decided that I had to share the secrets of creating artisan sourdough breads, cakes, and muffins with other families, and that’s why I’m writing to you today.
