Sourdough Bread

I'll take two slices with ham, cheese, and mustard between them. Thanks!

Looks really good!

For a real treat make some sourdough rye. The "problem" with it is that rye acts nothing like wheat in the making of the loaf. But it's really delicious.

Dave in KY That's a lot of bread. Do you need to feed a large family or maybe someone has a big appetite  

Since I needed to feed my sourdough starter I threw the discarded starter in my yeasted cornbread which I was just about to make. This is what came out the oven

Loaf for us, one for her parents and usually pick a different friend to give 3rd to each baking. Her recipe does 3 loaves

Bread freezes pretty good too. I was always the bread eater, my wife not so much unless it was still warm from baking and we never missed that! I would bake 4 loaves, cut them in half and freeze, then remove half a loaf as needed. They didn't last very long due to attrition, not spoilage.

Interesting (and unique) sourdough cornbread loaf Max. How was it?

ShadowsDad It was interesting because when I make my regular yeasted corn bread (corn meal/flour/yeast) it doesn't rise as much just like rye bread. However with the added discarded sourdough starter the loaf turned out fluffier and much larger in size than usual. Since I didn't add a cut in my loaf before baking the nipple was an effect of the sourdough expansion during baking. The loaf tasted outstanding and I'll make it again.

Fresh from the oven, 85% sourdough.

Thanks, What a beautiful loaf ! I use to bake two loaves every week on Saturday morning when I lived in Alaska.

Been eating a lot of sourdough bread since GF created a starter in the summer...
