Oh I know the struggle of learning and baking your first sourdough! Almost 5/6 years ago, I made my first loaves and they were flat like pancakes! But I like your venturing into croissants though! I have tried it but it is not that easy. Great post and great looking sourdough bakes!

Itβs two years now that Iβm baking with sourdough. We are a family of foodies and we love to try different food and recipes and that is how we started with sweet versions, also with sweet sourdough starter. I am amazed by your posts about sourdough baking, great photos, but most of all great bread! Thank you for reading my post.
Thank you so much for your lovely reply to my comment! I really appreciate it. And sourdough baking is the most fun! So, if it is not a secret, how did you do the sweet sourdough starter? I have never had success really.
You're welcome. Of course, it's not a secret. I use 10g of sourdough starter, 30g flour, 10g water and 8g sugar. The result is a thick dough. Wait for it to double in size. Then feed the dough again with 50g flour, 20g flour and 12g sugar. Once the dough has tripled, use it in the main dough. The whole process usually takes 10-12 hours at a room temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius. The dough is quite thick, you need to dissolve it in the liquid that you will use for the main dough. Sweet sourdough starter is suitable in recipes where sugar and fat are used, i.e. in desserts.
Thank you so much! I am going to try this recipe. The previous sourdough starter did not work because I think I did not prime it enough with sugar. I will remember this! Thanks a lot I really appreciate it.
Fingers crossed that the next sweet sourdough starter will be a success πͺ
That is what I hope as well! There is nothing like homemade sourdough croissants!
