This episode I finally bake my first sourdough bread after working on my starter for over a week. And I also make a dukkah out of nuts and spices to serve with it.

Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.

Ive started my sourdough journey last year around the same time of year, feeding my starter for weeks before trying to bake my first bread and being so excited every time it would grow. My first bread was really a brick but the progress was so visible with every bread I made, I learned the techniques which just became natural with time and developed a feeling for the dough, its texture and smell which now indicate me whether it’s risen enough or too much. This journey has taught me so much, I’ve learned consistency, because you have to take care of your starter regularly, I learned to think more ahead because making bread is really about timing and if you have limited time you need to know when to feed your starter so it will have doubled at the right time so you can make the dough… and as you said it’s actually more forgiving than one might think, you learn to focus on what matters and not get too absorbed by everyone else’s advice, you learn to trust your instinct and your senses. It’s just wonderful. So please don’t excuse for talking about it with such enthusiasm, the same happens to me but people who have made the same experience will understand and others might get curious to try 😊 complimenti per il tuo primo pane perché è davvero bellissimo e sembra delizioso! Un abbraccio da un’altra ragazza straniera che vive in Italia che va matta per il lievito madre ❤
Your 😂baby is adorable 😂😂😂❤
Beautiful cinematography
You are doing wonderful experiments❤❤❤❤
🎉The other baby is marvellous too
Grow your spices in an underground green house. Corriander grows well. Agree about poached. Delicious. Chilli is easy to grow in tuscany
Your so cute describing your sour dough. I remember my first loaf of bread. Mom and dad made it all the time. 10 years ago I tried it and I was just as giddy. Love
Congratulations on that amazing first sourdough loaf, Kylie. I could practically smell it! Please would you do a video on poaching eggs: I have tried so many methods and cannot quite seem to find one that works consistently; yours looked perfect! Thanks too for the sunshine during the wettest start to the year in the UK.
Happy Valentines Day to you and your family. The bread looks wonderful. Regarding old drafty houses. I grew up in one. Cold all the time. We lit fires but still cold. One year we had 3 feet of snow. Unreal. Pipes frozen No water. Going to bed with a hot water bottle was heaven. Keep warm..❤❤❤❤
Awe…now the obsession begins❤
I remember my first loaf of sourdough bread. The texture, that incredible tang smothered in butter or toasted and dipped into my tea. ❤
Always inspiring us! Your energy is contagious…thank you 🌸
Ooooo one of my favorite ways to use discard is as a topping for fresh fruit, a type of cobbler. Beautiful video, dear. ❤
I predict.. a future addition of a grain mill . Ask me how I know
Love all your episodes. You are such an authentic soul in a world clamoring for attention. Than you for that. Love the provincial beauty of your home. It’s a window into your soul! All is lovely!! You are such a good mama too!
Oh that bread looks so yummy-I can only imagine eating a piece layered in fresh butter. Oh my!! 🤩
Im obsessed with baking sourdough as well. Takes you back to the slower pace of life, the process. I store mine in the fridge for up to a week without feeding it. Ive seen you can also freeze it. Spread some out onto baking paper and freeze it on the paper. <3
Si sente il profumo di quel pane fino a qua…….
KYLIE … USE THE “THROW OUT!” STARTER ADD SALT AND MAKE PLAY DOUGH …
KYLIE …. I see a family trip to Morocco for spruces…
You don’t have fresh mint in Tuscany? Really…. Kylie take some of those spices to your neighbour I bet she’d know where to buy them from…. I think she’d enjoy tasting them… you need to buy black seeds to top the bread … if you plant mint make sure it’s in a contained planter as it goes wild and travels everywhere under the soil…
Kylie please put the link to your sisters channel ….
Beautiful music
For drafts! Take a candle and walk around and plug the holes and cracks with caulking …
Omg bla bla bla bla bla
Watching your vitality shine through is just so good for my soul! Yum the sourdough sounded beautiful – and it's been said so many time before but your skill and artistry in filming is a joy.
Congratulations on your bread. A starter is a big commitment.
Kylie your sweet enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air. You always bring positivity so needed these days. My husband is Jordanian and we consume a lot of Zatar in our home. I love to add Sumac as well. It brings a tangy brightness to the mix. Keep baking🫶🏼
Brava Kylie, your enthusiasm for the art of cooking and creating is beautiful ❤❤❤ and btw it’s a great pleasure to have followed your sister’s instagram page 🥰
Kylie your excitement and enthusiasm for your experience with learning something new in your mastering sourdough is contagious.
Your bread looks amazing and when you held it up and did the squeeze it was perfect.
You have so much joy when you speak about cooking, gardening, the boys and family in general is so inspiring and makes my heart sing. Your smile is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your life and family. I enjoy your channel so very much. Glorious views and lands surrounding your Italian home. Love to you and the family. ❤❤❤ by the way I just started following your sister. At 77 almost 78 I need a reset very much.🤗🥰💐✨your bread was beautiful!
Dear Kylie, a long time follower here, AND a bakery owner- your bread looks beautiful. And when you speak about it- this is exactly how I feel about baking my own breads and bake goods (although my husband is the main baker for our business). I love toasting the bread, and after a few days, if I have leftovers I am making croutons for salads and soups.
Omg Kylieee where is the beautiful skirt from? Pleaaaase🥺 we need an styling video with you, where to buys clothes what to look for, your style is impeccable!
Love the music with your fabulous video
My crust comes out so hard. How did you get your crispy but yet soft?
Kylie, you have the most beautiful images. Ahh, sigh.
Amazing ! Fantastico !!!!!
Love your passion 🫶🏼 thanks
Don't you have a place in the city?
Beautifull, delish! I love middle eastern food. Often use za'atar sprinkled over cottage cheese, eggs, avo etc. Very good for digestion, also your mint tea 😊 Love your video's Kylie.
Your bread looks amazing Kylie 🥖 hi from Barbados 🇧🇧
Kylie, you inspire me as always and your enthusiasm just lights up the world! I needed this reminder that we need to set small goals and find the joy in the little achievers. Could you maybe speak to how you keep embracing life caring for two small children while Guido is away often and you have the load mainly on your shoulders. How do you prevent slipping into resentment?
Kylie, thank you for your beautiful videos! As a lactation consultant I wanted to offer some unsolicited advice ;). be careful with how much mint tea you consume. The menthol in mint is potent and can reduce milk supply as can sage and parsley in quantity. Truly enjoy the beauty of your work!
I need to try both! Although my sourdough starter will need to be gluten-free.
👋 👋 KYLIE😊,
YES, a beautiful day sitting outside in the fresh air sipping tea and a crunchy sourdough slice…that is life❤ as your 2 boys nap❤❤🎉🎉ty
For your beautiful video…and my condo is drafty also until I replace the old windows…but it's mine and beats living in a tiny room in a garage….so, so blessed….ROME wasn't built over nite.😊but you young lady are very VERY BLESSED…🎉and poor GUIDO drives 5 hours a day for work😮….that has to be stressful….enjoy your weather and your 3 guys❤❤❤ take care hon….your sister will be fine..tell her to stop stressing…when we are very strong 💪 SIGMA LADIES , we don't need a man..follow your passions and talents and read, or paint, or a craft, knit..etc..sis…😊you will be fine…get a dog, they are very loving and loyal..my advice , for your sis.😊
Welcome to the Sourdough world! I just got into this 6 months ago and no one talks this excitedly about bread the way us sourdough bakers do!
Kylie that is great your making your own Sourdough bread! I have been doing homemade sourdough now for years and i learned this tip from a German woman- Since I make Sourdough once every 3 weeks, I never discard anymore after it matured. I just make it real thick put in fridge for 3 weeks then take it out the night before baking feed and in the morning I start the process of folding etc and bake by 7-8pm. Since my sourdough become mature I take straight out of fridge for sourdough waffles, pancakes etc but never discard. It is always in the fridge till I need it. I ruined sourdough starter twice by keeping out discarding feeding etc plus it wastes a lot of flour. I do use bread flour and I use to make those ones now I make sandwich sourdough bread and lasts way longer before getting hard. Hope this helps
You baked the perfect load Kylie, great job on your first try!
Kylie, I wanted to reach in to the video and grab that bread! Magnificent! Those spices! What a wonderful hostess gift would that be to a cook with some suggested recipes to use them with. This was such a lovely video, thank you ❤❤❤
Querida Kylie. No Brasil há muitas culturas, inclusive em diversidades alimentícias. Contudo devo lhe dizer, que nada no Rio referente a favelas é referência. Somos uma nação rica em diversidades, mas não sei porque vocês gostam.
Conheça realmente o Brasil, de outros segmentos, por favor!
