For today's Pantry Chat, I'm joined by Lisa Bass from @FarmhouseonBoone and we're diving into the most common sourdough misconceptions and putting these myths to rest!

If you'd like to learn even more myths (or mistakes) that are commonly believed or made with sourdough, check out the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/sourdough-mistakes/
