Rachel's Rise

Well the Pinckney location is officially sold out. I'm still running a few errands so I won't be shutting down the Whitmore Lake stand for a little bit yet. Stop by for a cookie or a cinnamon roll if you're out and about. I believe all the sourdough is sold out at this point. And if you're looking for dinner ideas this week the sourdough pizza is yummy and easy and fun.

Dehydrated Sourdough Starter- here are simple instructions for rehydrating. Please message me directly if you have questions. Enjoy your Sourdough Era... It's a rabbit hole 🤪.

RACHEL’S RISE 🍞
Rehydrating Your Dehydrated Sourdough Starter

What you’ll need:
• 30 g dehydrated starter
• Unbleached flour
• Filtered water
• Clean glass jar
• Kitchen scale
• Spoon

DAY 1

Add 30 g starter + 30 g lukewarm water to your jar. Stir and let sit for 30–60 minutes.

Add 30 g flour and mix well. Cover loosely and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.

DAYS 2–4

Keep 30 g starter and discard the rest.

Add 30 g water + 30 g flour. Mix, cover loosely, and leave at room temperature.

Repeat every 24 hours.

DAYS 5–7

Continue the same feeding:

30 g starter + 30 g water + 30 g flour

Your starter is ready to bake with when it is bubbly, active, and doubles in size within 4–8 hours after feeding.

❤️ A FEW TIPS

• Keep your starter somewhere warm, ideally 70–78°F.
• A slow starter is normal! It may take longer than 7 days.
• Never seal the jar airtight while fermenting.
• Once active, store in the refrigerator and feed about once a week.

Happy baking!
Thank you for choosing Rachel’s Rise!

As much as I want this to be a 'family business' I don't trust my boys to help make or bake anything.so I have found little jobs for them to do without handling any food directly. Brooks is in the kitchen with me helping with labeling and sealing packages while I prep cinnamon rolls.

A little Costco run to restock inventory. Lots of cookies in the forecast and several orders for cake pops so I plan to have them on the upcoming stands as well.

Camping this week has been an....adventure. We've been tent camping and although we've had lots of fun tubing and fishing on the boat last night we had torrential downpour thunderstorms on top of us. A terrified Labrador with diabolical farts, and a campsite ransacked by raccoons. Oh and our three boys seem to be incapable of zipping the tent door shut. 🫠 This morning I am itchy and wet and to be quite honest a little bit irritable 🤣

I am ready to get back to my kitchen! I will be baking pre-order items only this weekend. Bread and cinnamon rolls. We will be getting home from camping soon but it won't give me enough prep time to do the full range of Bakery items I love to provide.

Message me or comment if you are in need of some fresh sourdough bread or cinnamon rolls. Pre-order cinnamon rolls will come as a four pack only.
