Sourdough Bread

Awesome Hunter! It’s lots of fun but patience is key. It’ll take about a week to get a full growing starter and AP is just fine. I tend to use the organic kind but I’ve switched to regular AP as I’m out or the former. Feed it twice a day and you’re good to go. Can’t wait to see the updates of your new journey.

Second sourdough loaf:

I found a good deal on a Romertopf clay baker. I’m happy with the results and looking forward to experimenting more.
Dough related baking, I also made a N.Y. style pizza. My first ever non frozen ‘za. This has been breakthrough in my personal home cookery. 

This whole situation we’re all in has been stressful for me. I’ve found some solace by improving my cooking and baking skills. I also started a kombucha batch this week lol.

I made pizza last night, as I do every Saturday night. Nothing beats home made! Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.

The sour dough and pizza look incredible!  Well done!

Thanks! I'll have a handful of solid go to recipes as a lockdown silver lining. Honestly, I might have trouble limiting myself to just one pizza a week. It's so easy and delicious! I think I'll try a thin cracker crust as my next effort.

That looks great.  I'm inspired.  My niece in Toronto just made her first sourdough loaf this morning.  She got her starter going in a couple of weeks - she named it Patricia and treats it like its a person.  Maybe this lockdown has gone on too long

It's always fascinating to watch as no two loafs are ever the same.

I think my Starter is getting close. This is day six, and it’s doubled in size and got lots of bubbles after it’s feeding last night. I’m going to continue the twice a day feedings today and do a float test on it tomorrow to see if it’s ready for bread making.

TheHunter If It doubles in about 4 hours or less you can bet it's ready. Give it another day but you're close to being done. Looking forward to see your first creation!

The same Starter before it’s night time feeding, Whoa! I guess I need a bigger Starter container  .
