Kabocha squash is my favorite winter squash due to its complex sweetness and creamy texture, but recently it has given me hard time to digest. As a result, I turn it into a very delicious sourdough bread feast! In a pandemic where dry yeast is out of stock, why not make one sourdough starter for healthy bread?
