• Sourdough Starter is ACTIVE

    Sourdough Starter is ACTIVE

    Reliable rise after feeding and later when taking some for something else, stir down, rises some more. Seems to double in about 4 to 6 hours. Started this morning with 120g starter, then fed 50g each water and flour. I do not know for sure if it is a 12 hour or 24 hour thing,…


  • Sourdough Starter seems to be working!

    Sourdough Starter seems to be working!

    I took 1/2 Cup of that starter above and made Sourdough Biscuits. They are still rising in my cast iron pan, inverted lid of my Dutch oven cast iron outdoor cooking pot. Yesterday I set some starter up from one of my small jars, trying to push different methods for something that WORKS. Things were…


  • Sourdough Ramblings

    So I did make Sourdough Soft Sandwich Bread the other day. It was slow in rising lately so I used twice as much starter and that helped, but overall it wasn’t rising over the edge of my bread pan many hours later. It started drying out, I moistened the towel with water and worked on…


  • Honey Wheat Sourdough

    Honey Wheat Sourdough

    I used only Whole Grain Spelt starter and flour to make this loaf. I should have baked it longer, and my folding wasn’t great, it blew up on one side … But in the end it’s just a piece of Whole Spelt Honey Sourdough bread when sliced, with a little quirky rise and valley on…


  • Big Day Yesterday

    Big Day Yesterday

    SNOW! Last time it snowed was early 2022. It doesn’t often snow, sometimes more days than one, we had some great snow days in the early 2000’s to early teen 2000’s, a lovely snow in 2010 in snowed and then the next day we woke up to everything covered in several inches of white glistening…


  • I tried to warm up my Sourdough Starter

    Yesterday I worked on getting my Starter for Sourdough warmer. We only use the fireplace in the living room to heat, a space heater here or there for room that people are too cold in. Winter is up and down where we live, I can’t breathe with blown heat (through the A/C system, heatpump+emergency electric…


  • First Sourdough Starter use: Cornbread

    First Sourdough Starter use: Cornbread

    My Starter is looking pretty good, it’s just so cold now, attempting more than lesser sourdough recipes is my lot. I halved my starter and used the Discard to setup cornbread for later. This worked wonderfully. Springy cornbread, yummy and holey. Just freaking delicious. We had Meatball Soup, and Sourdough Cornbread for dinner. Original recipe…


  • Win 11 24h2 wouldn’t install so…

    I had to reset my pc and only keep personal files. Win 11 was on 23h2. Then I had 24h2 version of Windows 11 on a usb stick and used that inside windows to install the same way. Finally, success! Yesterday I tried all day and retried and retried ad nauseum, none of the so-called…
