That sounds a good idea AB, did you get holes in them like 'real' English muffins?

DD ,  love what you are doing.  Do you have a pyrex dish that would do ?

AB,  wonder how they would go without the yeast.?  probably take longer but would work.

No JD, no holes but the taste was good.  maybe Chookie could advise on that, overproofing  would probably be the go.  Ate them warm from the oven, will have one toasted tomorrow for brekkie.

Chookie I do have a Pyrex dish I can try. I am also going to town tomorrow and will look for a better bread tin.  I am working toward making a pure sourdough rye loaf.

My starter has outgrown its jar. I will have to buy another one, any tips on what size is best?

I went and bought my starter a new jar today and transferred it, I hope it appreciates it's new home. Now I have more space in the jar I am going to feed it more is the next step 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 water ?

I really think it is  shower cap creating just the right sweaty environment. I was going to make a bigger loaf but really this is perfect for us.

I am amazed.  Don't give up. I just plonked it into the tin from the THERMOTHINGY and left it while I went to the dentist. I never ever wash my bread tins either. I tip the bread out of the tin about four minutes from done and put it back in  the oven upside down.

I also have never oiled a bread tin.
