It happened again — my sourdough loaf turned into a pancake! I did everything right, or so I thought. Has anyone else experienced a dough disaster that left them laughing instead of crying? I’d love to hear your baking bloopers and what you learned from them.
I’ve found that investing in good quality scales made a huge difference in our accuracy and consistency. It might seem minor, but those little adjustments can save a lot of time in the long run, especially when you’re preparing dough in batches. Have you tried any specific brands that you’ve found reliable?

Flops like that can be a real bummer! I’ve had my fair share of pancake loaves, too. I switched to using a kitchen scale and it really helped keep my dough precise — maybe give it a shot? What hydration level are you using for your sourdough?
, I totally get that; i once left my keys in the bathroom cabinet during a rush, and it drove me nuts searching for them. Next time you might want to try retracing your steps; it sometimes works wonders. Have you thought about getting a key tracker?
Pancake loaves are the worst! I’ve had a few flatbreads myself, and they always seem to deflate right before the final rise. I started using a proofing basket to help shape my loaves better.
