Chookie, I have been feeding my starter once a week and leaving it in the fridge. But now when I want to make bread it has gone in strike. I have been feeding it a tablespoon of flour and water and leaving it out on the countertop but it is not waking up! And it smells of acetone? Why is the starter not cooperating. I have been feeding it and leaving it on the countertop for the last 5 days.

It should be smelling like beer.  Give it one large feed, 1/2 a cup, a good stir,  keep it in a warm place.  If this doesn't work,  chuck it.
When I am keeping mine in the fridge,  and feeding it once a week,  i leave it out for a day,  to start working again,  before popping it in the fridge for the next week.

Used this method again today as it seems to be the one that works best for me.  It's not a high loaf, I don't seem to be able to make them but it's delicious.  I find it easier to cut anyway so no complaints.

Judy, looks excellent to me.  If it is easy for you to cut,  then do it that way.

Chookie I used that wide USA pan with the ridges in the bottom, you've got one of those haven't you?

Great looking bread Judy  :D

This is my favourite sourdough recipe and the one I've had the most success with also.
Must make some again soon!

Today I made 6 sour dough mini loaves using this recipe. We had to eat half of one when they came out of the oven, for quality control!

If I was there Katie, I would have tested the other half for quality control myself  ;D  Great job, how long did you cook them?

Thank you.

Judy I cooked them for 20 minutes in the tin, then I took them out of the tin and returned them to the oven for 10 minutes.
