Amazing you kick ass. I can't even imagine a day in your life working with that much dough, lol! I am really new to baking and yesterday did two loaves of sourdough and that was stressful. no Banatens, just glass bowls and parchment paper to cold ferment them overnight. I was stressed as I didn't want to cut up a good pillowcase to use as liners with flour. They both came out great in the end. I now have 5 loaves under my belt and would like to say I know what I am doing now but am humble to say not even a little but am having fun learning.

That’s awesome!! Use what you have, I’ve been baking that way for years. You got this!!!

Beautiful

Thank you friend!

I love your videos ❤ I just found them yesterday I also work with sourdough. I love making these bread lows. How much do you weigh one loaf? Or what is the price for a one loaf? If you don't mind me asking?

[@madarafarms]

Thank you so much ! One loaf is around 2lbs. I charge $8 for a plain and $10 for speciality loaves. I’m here to help anyway I can!

[@shireenporthern815]

Awesome work, keep it up. How manycups flour do you use for 6 loafs more or less

[@madarafarms]

It’s about 3cups per loaf

Do you have a separate fridge for cold proofing? I just sold my first two loaves to one of my neighbors, but we only have room in our home for one fridge and with 4 kids and 2 adults, it's pretty full most of the time (thankfully!) so I can feasibly only make 2 a day.

[@madarafarms]

I don’t, but I’m looking to buy one now! I squeeze them in!

[@geraldfriesen5600]

I have to say bravo if you are great at adjusting your dough by feel, that is the traditional way. My mom grew up making bread this way as the oldest daughter in a large family, a poor family for which bread was a staple. For myself, having only a matter of months of bread-making experience, I would never run a bakery business using volumetric measurements. Measuring by weight is the only way to go for anyone struggling with consistency, and with scales on Amazon running as cheap as $20 for a smaller one it's a no-brainer.

[@madarafarms]

Everyone is different, as long as it works then go for it!

[@geraldfriesen5600]

Yeah, I mean if someone enjoys the challenge of adjusting their flour and water each time to get it right it can be fun right? For newbies though, I just watched a video showing how measuring by cups can cause you to vary from a recipe by 30% from what it would be by weight. 30%! So for people who know that and like it fine, but its good for new bakers to know they can avoid tremendous frustration with a $20 scale.

Great video. How do you market to your community?

[@madarafarms]

Thank you! I use Facebook, Instagram and Next door.

[@tammidee7402]

Are you using Baker's Math when you upsize or downsize the amount of dough you are making?

[@madarafarms]

Pretty much but I mostly go on feel. As I’ve noticed some flour seems to be more dry than others

[@tammidee7402]

It is also dependent upon the protein content of your flour.

[@shireenporthern815]

W many coil folds do you do?

[@madarafarms]

4 sets 8 per set

[@salmanader5115]

I hope you can do the pickups some where other than your house for safety reasons, now you're out on the internet you can encounter people that you can't trust. There are some scary stories, specially you have a baby. Or at least always have always someone in the house with you on pickup days, which is not the safest thing, because you can have stalkers watching you and waiting for you to be alone ib the house. I wish you all the best and hope you and your baby will be always safe.❤

[@madarafarms]

We are working on getting into a retail location since it’s grown more than I thought it would!

[@dawnmarie7024]

What do You charge per loaf???

[@madarafarms]

$8-$10
