sourdough bread try
Re: sourdough bread try
My understanding of sourdough is a longer running batch that once active you can keep in the fridge and feed once a week. You then divide 12 hours prior, heavy feed at room temp and use to add to your recipe for the rise and then proof with wild yeast.
I started baking white and whole wheat breads using store yeast last winter/spring then took off the summer to get my chores done. Have been trying to get back into it but have had too much to do to take a day and bake 4-6 loaves. Everyone expects fresh bread now. Have not tried the refrigerated long rise yet. I have so much to learn.

Re: sourdough bread try
My first successful self-made starter was from red grapes from my garden and potato water.
Sounds like your well into it.
You need steam to get oven bounce and the best crust and crumb.

Re: sourdough bread try
I used a deep pan of water in the oven. Have a dutch oven I was going to use for the sour dough. I keep reading and trying to get a better grasp of the process. Nothing like a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven and the feeling of satisfaction after hours of preparation. I will keep trying.
Thanks for your input.

Re: sourdough bread try
This bread thread has interested me enough to want to learn more about sourdough. There's actually quite a bit of info available, but I found this website particularly instructive.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Not really a fan of sour dough. Makes my jaw hurt.

Re: sourdough bread try
All this bread talk, I'll have to get the wood fired brick oven back in working order.

Re: sourdough bread try
This has some good information. Think I will attempt another starter tonight, going to use whole wheat and some unbleached flour to begin.CT_Shooter wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:26 amThis bread thread has interested me enough to want to learn more about sourdough.
