About this episode
Amber Semerau shares her everyday sourdough routine using 100% spelt flour, including tips for incorporating sourdough into daily meals.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real-life rhythm of how I make my everyday sourdough bread using 100% spelt flour. This is the bread I bake again and again—nourishing, simple, and forgiving enough to fit into real life with kids, chaos, and all. I’ll walk you through how I prep my starter (yes, it lives in the fridge most of the time), how I mix the dough more like a batter and let time do the work, and how I use fresh-milled spelt or grind it in batches to keep it easy. You’ll also hear how I sneak sourdough into my daily routine with crepes, tortillas, and pan breads made from discard—and how I boost my bakes with whey or kefir from my yogurt-making. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a spelt-based loaf that works with your lifestyle, this one’s for you. 📥 Grab the downloadable recipe Get my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1 Follow me on instagram and facebook Check out the blog at edpursuits.com
