I’ve been making bread on and off for years, but I’ve never made sourdough. So, here’s the first of the adventure in sourdough.<\/p>\n
I’ve been reading up on it though, and have been brewing a starter for the last week. It’ll take a \u00a0couple of weeks to get the starter ready, then I have to look after it every day until you need it again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My starter is a 50\/50 hydrated starter, 1 cup of strong flour, 1 cup of water. I mixed it and left it for 3 days (giving it a stir every now and then).<\/p>\n
It seemed to be developing nicely. It bubbles gently, and smells of a mix of flour, bananas and pear drops. (from the reading I’ve done, this is apparently the right smell.)<\/p>\n
On day 3 I fed it. I took out a cup of \u00a0mix and binned it, then added just over 1\/2 cup of flour and 1\/2 cup of water. On day 5 I fed it again.<\/p>\n
I used a white bread flour for the starter, but have been feeding it a little Spelt too.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, I make bread..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
