It sounds tasty Troupie. Does the boiling water cool done a lot before you put the starter in?

I never thought of that but I didn't pour the water on while it was still bubbling away. The original recipe didn't mention it either so I suppose the time I was fiddling around getting dish greased and other ingredients out was enough to cool it down a bit. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I really love the sound of it. I'm not sure if I will have time to make it before I go to Tasmania. If I don't it will be on top of my list for when I get home.

I made this today. My starter was quite runny so I put less boiling water. It was still quite a liquids consistency, not like a bread at all. However, I had a slice this afternoon and it tastes lovely. Thanks troupie.

Yes it does look just like mine; hope you are happy with the result. We put some butter on it. I hope I haven't killed my starter as have had a cold (just the cough bit) and not looking after anything.

This recipe has inspired me to make a sourdough starter again. Hope it works.

Jeninwa I can give you some starter if you like. Just give me a few days to boost it up before you want it.

Thanks Troupie. We really like it.

Thanks cookie it worked, after two days I bought it inside as it was bubbling away, gave it a feed, here it is this morning before I transferred it to a bowl, it had out grown the large jar I had it in. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/01/46283e82ae87ffda02d089f031879284.jpg)
How long do you think I should keep feeding it before it's ready to use.
Title: Re: Cranberry Walnut Bread (sourdough)
Post by: naturalmumma on November 02, 2014, 07:53:29 am
I think after 7 days you can use your sourdough starter

I don't know when it can be used. You are very clever. It looks great.

Jeninwa have a read of the very first page of Chookie's All About Sourdough. That will tell you.

I have read chookie's page on sourdough, think this warm weather might be why it's so active I'll feed it for a few more days before I make some bread.
