I made a SD pizza yesterday.  The crust was Fab.  Thin and easy to handle.  ONly problem was that it didn't brown around the edge, even though I brushed it with oil.  Uni,  be interested to see how you go.

Uni,  I think egg might work also.  I am posting your dried starter tomorrow.

It is foolish so thought I would have one last go at the sour dough bread. Sick of wasting flour I am making just half a loaf.

After processing in THERMOTHINGY  it looked and felt exactly like Isi's Portuguese roll dough though a wee bit stickier.



I did not touch it much but dumped it into the farmhouse loaf pan.



Then I cut it, sprayed it, and covered it with a shower cap taken from the Green Island hotel for luck.



If this does not work this time I am giving up.........maybe.

Gert, my first loaf was 1/2 a batch.

Is your dough runny, my dough you can pour from jug into pot.

I'm watching mine here too Gretchen.  Started it yesterday and it just wouldn't rise in the TM bowl even though it was quite a warm day. I've just done the second step and when I was happy with the look and feel of the dough (having to add quite a bit more flour and hand knead it), I placed it in my pan and it's sitting in a sunny window.  Mine is like yours Gert not pourable like Hally's.  I almost gave up but decided to see if I could resurrect it.  My last loaf rose up and over the TM bowl as it was supposed to in the first step but this one was only 1/2 way up the bowl.  It didn't look dead though so we will see how it goes this afternoon.

Gert,  this is great.  If it is like Isi's in texture it may take a little longer to rise.  Off to town now.

Be patient. It is freezing here today and my sourdough is very sluggish. I'll probably be cooking it at midnight. :-\

I think it is starting to rise NOW. I am excited.





My shower cap has risen at least.




It is now 1730 and it has nearly doubled. What to do now?
