Meanwhile, I searched the internet and thumbed through several of my own cookbooks on bread baking. I quickly gave that up. You can find a dozen sources on sourdough baking and come up with a dozen different ways of doing it. I decided to stick with Lois' way!
Here is a picture of the bowl of starter in my kitchen bay window in between my house plants! I even turned my home thermostat up a few degrees so that the "yeastie beasties" (Lois' term!) will have just the right environment to grow.
And here is a close up of the culture taken right after I stirred it.
Wow, it's looking good Sherry! :)))) I'm sure it'll be terrific! :)))))

That does look good! I hope it comes out great. I love sourdough! I bet that would pack just fine on a camping trip, say. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat's just what I had in mind! A big chunk of sourdough bread, slathered in butter, sitting around a campfire. . . My research has told me sourdough bread is less likely to grow mold!
ReplyDeleteYou and Lois have inspired me !!Yep ..this morning I start my Starter :0)
ReplyDeleteI too will doing it Lois' way...
Now the pressure is on! I can't fail now! Keep me posted on how yours turns out. So far (only the second day!) mine is looking good.
