Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Tryin' sourdough, again.

I ordered some.

Not sure how one goes about ordering bread.

When I order it, the nice lady or gentleman behind the counter hands me a loaf, I take it home and eat it.

Hours matter for really good sourdough

Day old sourdough is garbage compared to day of sourdough...

Unless it's got all them good preservatives in it

My Sister in-law has been the sourdough queen of the family. She keeps starter going for years. She had her own bakery shop in Flagstaff for a number of years before moving back to CO. We can't keep starter alive long enough to make more then one batch of bread.

Are you using tap water? Muni water?

Tap water that was dechlorinated

That usually takes care of it. Cl was an issue I had years ago when I was on a rural water system.

How are you storing the starter and how often are you feeding it between use?

I believe the problem with keeping starter alive around here is mainly due to my wife not really liking sourdough. I think she just tortures it to death so she doesn't have to make it.

Years ago when the kids were still living with us in our other house, she had no problem keeping it alive. The kids love sourdough so she made it regularly. She now makes a lot of bread like before, rye, white, french, and wheat, just not sourdough.

A lot of talking but no recipe for sourdough???? Keep it alive, dead, bury it. Tap water, spring water, how do you store it, etc. WHERE are the recipes!!!!

It ain't rocket surgery.

As little as 2000 ft in elevation change can effect the recipe dramatically - Dick - will send you a PM

I score starter that came in on the Oregon trail…. Mid 1800s yummy

The starter came today.https://i.imgur.com/dWYxuuo.jpg[img]http://[/img]https://i.imgur.com/dWYxuuo.jpg

After feeding my starter about 400 pounds of flour for a few loaves of bread and dinner rolls I decided it's cheaper to buy bread.

So far.

Now, real bread my Wife makes.

looks good so far.

Use the discard to make donuts. I can’t make enough donuts for everyone that wants one.

LOL!

It does require a lot of flour.

Did you save a split of your starter to keep handy, or did it all go in oneloaf?

I didn't think of that, it's all in. More than one loaf I hope.

Take a cup or two of that and store it in a jar your refrigerator for the next batch.
