Sometimes, trying out a new recipe can lead to unexpected results, as one woman found out when attempting to make a sourdough starter. The process involves creating a living culture of wild yeast and bacteria to help bread rise, but things took a dramatic turn for @ravenscimaven when her starter exploded out of its jar in a matter of hours. Desperate for help, she took to Twitter to share her dilemma, writing: “PLEASE HELP.”
In a series of hilarious updates, she expressed her panic and confusion, wondering if she could still make bread with the explosive starter and even considering feeding it to her worm farm. Despite the chaos, she managed to salvage the situation and made bread at 1am, joking that the dough might take over her kitchen by morning.
The entertaining thread caught the attention of many on social media, with one person suggesting she make peace with the starter and another dubbing it the “best thread of the week.” Despite the chaos, @ravenscimaven’s sourdough misadventure ended with a successful loaf of bread and a memorable story to share.
