Chookie this is all so wonderful. You have made sourdough so realistic for us all.

Ok I just fed it about 1/2 a cup of flour and about 2 big tablespoons of water. It is looking good.  In the morning 400 gms of starter to 500 gms of flour. Salt sugar And pop into the tin.

It is thick but soupy. Maybe slightly thicker than pancake batter.

Sounds OK,  but might be over the top of tin when you get home.   Do you have a cool spot,  not in fridge ?  If so put it there.  Can move it to warm spot when you get home,  if it hasn't doubled.  Is the one called iris ?

You want a soft bread dough.  Add less starter or more flour in the morning.  While it is kneading in the TMX,  stick you finger in the top hole to feel how it is.  You can always add a bit more flour when you knead it on the silmat.

Sounding good.

Oh boy here I go.

I put 300 gms starter in the THERMOTHINGY then added maybe 400gms flour, about 250 mls filtered water room temp, the salt and sugar. I mixed it a wee bit then started kneading. I stopped and added a wee more flour and continued kneading until it felt right. Not silky taut but sort of silky a wee bit sticky . I kneaded for maybe 5 minutes then tipped it out and added enough flour to work with.

575 gms went into the small pan and 965 gms into the larger pan.

Now I will go out for a few hours.













The last photo is just a thank you for Helene for making the clean up so easy.

I am leaving this in the kitchen as it is actually the coolest part of the house and it is going to be 30 today. Must be about 25 already.
