Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal (in its article “Everyone in Trump’s Cabinet Is Eating Sauerkraut”) reported without irony that “JD Vance, RFK Jr. and other officials swear by a diet of grass-fed meat and fermented foods.”

What better time for Erin to resume her multi-part series on “Fermented Fun” with an episode exploring everyone’s favorite fermented baked goods: sourdough bread and all its many close cousins (sourdough pizza, sourdough pancakes, sourdough crackers, sourdough Dutch babies … the list goes on …)?

In this episode, the Ladies share their past and present experience with their “pet” sourdough starters and explore a few of the many uses for this versatile and nigh-on-miraculous ingredient.
