9am to 2pm Dang it flew up!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active Starter Sourdough Biscuits. Rising, baking in a little bit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I set some starter up from one of my small jars, trying to push different methods for something that WORKS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things were looking fine and dandy for it yesterday, so I put together Soft White Sourdough Bread recipe, and let it ferment & rise overnight, shaped and rose and baked this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Spelt Sourdough Bread<\/em><\/strong>. I’m at fault for the poor shaping. The other side blew out all down the side, but it’s OK once cut. A few areas with bigger holes and folds that didn’t meld, but overall a lot of good sandwich pieces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daughter and I each ate one end piece. Heavenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the little starter jar was based on the bigger jar from the day before yesterday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little one rose well yesterday, just not total doubled, it worked to make a lovely loaf of white bread anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future is looking bright. I’ll make a Honey Spelt Loaf next time, half whole grain and half white unbleached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
