Are you all ready for a good laugh? I've been trying with a starter for a for days now. [Linked Image]

Wish me luck! laugh

Where is the yeast in the recipe, or does it make it's own?

The starter is a yeast reservoir. Occasionally a little yeast is needed to get enough rise.

You can make black bread with a couple of substitutions.
Use 1/2 rye flour, add molasses, and if you want sub 1/2 the water with kefir milk.
The kefir will help with by adding yeast for to make it a bit more porous.
You can even add kefir to one of the sourdough splits when you feed it., so you will have an alternate more robust starter.
Rye flour is pretty dense. A couple knife cuts in the top allow for a little more rise while cooking.
From above you can also add caraway seed for more traditional rye bread. If you briefly fry the seed in oil for a minute before dumping it in the flour it helps bring out the flavor. You can omit the molasses or not in the rye bread, but you still need sugar to power the yeast.
You can go old school Central Europe if you add fried pancetta/ bacon to the basic black bread dough. Almost a chocolate chip cake, but a savory pork version.....

blushMy wife baled me out on that. It has a little tang, I might have waited another day on the starter, it was really making bubbles after I split it. The first time is not always the best.

Nice job on the bread! I just split and fed mine last night and I'm going to make pizza dough this weekend.

Thanks Mike, I was thinking sourdough pancake in the morning, I need more starter however.

If I don't get bored, I hope the next bread is lighter.

Made sourdough bread earlier this week. I use a bread machine as I don't have the patience to knead and wait on rising.

My parents had a bread machine nicknamed R2D2 for its looks.
