I started my sourdough winter of 2023. I was postpartum with my 2nd baby girl and started missing our pre-baby normal. We lived far from our favorite bakery that sold fresh Portuguese bread. Texeira’s bakery. the moment you step into this place you smell the bread baking in the oven every time. I was craving this like never before. And one thing I didn’t realize at the time was just how intense postpartum cravings are. They’re almost as intense as 2nd trimester cravings. It was an afternoon where I was nursing in the living room thinking, man I would really like some fresh bread right now.”
