Rhonda Voges Brown is so happy to introduce a lot of us to the wonders of making sourdough bread from a starter. This was the “rage” in the 80s, and it seems the trend has reemerged but with much more knowledge about its many benefits! Sour dough bread is fermented, which improves our gut health; gut health contributes 70 percent of our immune system.
Rhonda hosts sourdough “parties” in her home, where you learn about gut health, as well as go home with a pint jar of “the mother,” which is a starter that has been going on for 100 years! You also mix and shape your own loaf of bread to take home and bake.
After a fun evening, Rhonda also sends you home with a list of easy instructions and info for other recipes like hamburger buns and rosemary bread. At these “parties,” Rhonda shares all kinds of information, and dispels the myth that you must feed “the mother” all the time. She said that you can put it in the refrigerator for up to six months without touching it and use it to make bread after that! There are only three ingredients to add - flour, salt, and water - and it is super easy. She also shares food facts like kale has 50 percent more calcium than milk, and pineapple is anti-inflammatory.
Interestingly, Rhonda said that people who are not severely gluten intolerant can eat this bread also, adding that this is because of the “tug and tuck” method of kneading. She also stresses that good health starts with a healthy diet, and you can get healthy and stay healthy without having to go to the gym every day or run a marathon.
Rhonda believes that sourdough is the easy way to start getting healthy. The fermentation process helps with digestion and so many other things.
Her night gatherings are called Wine and Wellness and are really fun. In fact, she will even come to your house to demonstrate to a group of friends or a club. Any group can invite her to come teach all-things-sourdough!
I am lucky enough to be Rhonda’s neighbor, so she dropped some bread off for me to enjoy. Frankly, I am not partial to sourdough bread, but this was delicious and did not have a strong sourdough taste. If I can make bread and learn about its benefits, as well as sip wine and gather with friends, I am all in.
Check Rhonda out on Facebook or call her at (423) 315-0533 and experience this for yourself. I invite you to get your own “mother” to enjoy for years to come and to share with your other friends and family. Cheers to getting deliciously healthy!
Rhonda asks for a $25 donation for materials, and any extra is donated to Pure Hope, which strengthens and restores survivors of sex trafficking, or to a charity of your choice.
