I had feared my starter Sam was killed during the heat wave, when I neglected to feed him for a long time and he got moldy and hoochy but I started feeding him regularly again and he came back to life
Post birthday sourdough baking
My birthday just happened, celebrating with another sourdough loaf
Biscuits made with sourdough starter discard
We had them with fresh strawberries and she whipped us up some whipped cream. Wish we could have you over for dinner…
My latest sourdough loaf is a triumph!
To score it, I put it in the freezer while the oven was preheating for 45 minutes, making it easier to cut. Worked great!
sourdough experiment!
After accidentally leaving my starter in the oven as I was preheating it for dinner (oops!) I was afraid I’d killed it.
Homemade burgers on homemade buns
We made homemade burger buns last night and cooked the meat with fresh basil, bread crumbs, and apple cider vinegar mixed in. Yum!
Sourdough attempt number 4
Used scissors to score 3 diagonal slashes, but it split down the middle the long way as well…
Not as happy with this loaf
Having a hard time with scoring my dough. Still tastes good though!
Still learning how to bake bread
This sourdough loaf is a lot more edible than my first try, but still a little flat and stodgy. Progress!
Sourdough starter is probably not the problem
(I keep it in the cold oven with the light bulb and pilot light keeping it warm)
First attempt at sourdough bread + waffles made using starter
Tough and chewy but it tastes great! Also (not pictured) made waffles this morning with some starter, which was yummy.
