Beware the baking soda swap, ruined my whole sourdough batch
Last Thursday I grabbed the box from my pantry without checking and used baking soda instead of powder in my morning loaf, it came out flat and bitter and now I double-check every container before it goes in, has anyone else done this with a similar outcome?

Wait, were you using the baking soda as a leavener in a recipe that actually called for powder, or did you swap it into a sourdough recipe that didn't need any leavening at all? Cause those are two totally different disasters and I'm curious which one you hit. I've seen people accidentally grab the wrong box mid-morning too, but the flat bitter thing sounds like you doubled down on the mistake. Did it at least come out edible or was it straight trash?
