Just threw my first ever sourdough loaf in the oven, pray for me.

I’ve always been a yeast bread dough type of girl but I wanted to try for a more gut healthy approach. I attempted a starter over the winter and I never got a bloom after the false bloom. I was living in a very cold apartment at the time so I understand why things didn’t work out.

My starter is very healthy; nice smell, rising and falling like clock work. However, I don’t think my dough rose much.
I did four stretch and folds everything 30min and the texture appeared text book. Then placed into the fridge after resting seam-up for and hour. Cold proved eight hours and I must say, I don’t see much of a visible difference..
I don’t think this is going to go well.

I have struggled for years to make good biscuits. I’ve used the frozen butter “ trick” I’ve used pastry cutters, and even froze the biscuits before putting them in the oven. Absolutely none of those things worked. They were always crumbly. This morning as I have been home sick I was craving a good biscuit, not wanting to go to the store and get anyone else sick I decided to change my approach. The thousand layer method is the way to go! This may seem more labor-intensive, but with all the failed biscuits in my past, I don’t mind spending a bit of extra time to get a perfect flaky biscuit!
The way this works is by combining your flour, salt, baking powder, and buttermilk on its own.
Then you put butter between two pieces of wax paper And roll it out very thinly.
Place your dough on a piece of wax paper and then layer the thin butter on top of that dough.
Fold the dough over itself and roll it back out flat.
Repeat this many many times, then cut them out with your favorite jar or cookie cutter ring and bake them at 400 for 12 to 14 minutes.

Can I give you a full recipe? No.
Did I measure anything? Absolutely not.
But if you have any knowledge on ratios for baking, give this method a try, let me know what you think!
