All About Sour Dough .

[Halex]

This time I used the full amount of starter etc. Yes I did add yeast as i needed the bread for dinner not breakfast

I also had enough from my 2nd starter that I ddnt have to mix the 2.

Mine took 31/2 hrs yesterday Hally with no added yeast.

I thought my starter was a dud. It never really bubbled much after feeding it. I thought it was under active until I got home from work today.

Ho Helix I'm so jealous , great loaf.  I will do as Chookie said and feed the starters before I leave tomorrow back on Sunday.  They taste sour and smell ok.  but there is no movement, no bubbles yet.

[Halex]

Dash, looks alive & bubbling to me.

This bread is just the best I have ever had.

Hally,  this is terrific.  What I really like is that you obviously understand bread making and how to manage your bread to suit your  circumstances.  Looks like you have your Mojo back.  Great.   Did you notice the texture is slightly different because you add yeast ?

[achookwoman]

DD,  looks like your starter is moving.  Make sure you keep the food up to it.

Hally, that is just wonderful!  What recipe and method did you use to achieve that result?   I am in awe .......

I am feeding it half cup of flour a day since yesterday. This is the first day it really took off. I am hoping to have enough to bake on the weekend.

I have made a rye starter but will make a white bread loaf for my first attempt.

[achookwoman]

Sounds good DD.  Should be right for Sat.

Yeah, sourdough is no longer a big puzzle. Thanks to Chookie.

Thanks Chooks, its all been learnt from you

I must admit bread making is a favourite, I get such satisfaction from seeing & tasting a great loaf that cost me about $1.50 & not $6!!! We eat great bread every day yes I have stocks in the freezer but they are out now. I love making anything from no fuss to pitas to tortillas to naan to foccacias etc...

As i have said before my boys will not eat shop or even bakery bread anymore. You saw the cibatta bread  that was hardly touched that cost me $6!!

Remember when I made my first loaf OMG, what a waste of time etc.....you & Faffa made me continue, so glad you did.
