MalleusMaleficarum Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 1. Get a big glass container and put a thin kitchen towel over the top. Store in a window sill where it's warm.2. Add 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup warm water to it once a day, stir it up real good and leave it until next time.3. Repeat for about a week. That's all I did, and now it's something I can make little sourdough pancakes out of. Tastes amazing.

MalleusMaleficarum Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Current battle is to learn how to actually knead it, let it rise and bake it like proper bread. This book I got on the topic is really good. Quote [ Babby's Ferst Challenge ]Veganism killed my gainzChasing 15 rep 2xBW deadlift Link to comment
El Exorcisto Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I was HUGE into baking bread for a while. I made my starter out of dregs from a homebrewed, spontaneously fermented Lambic. I always did rolls and baguettes instead of slicing loaves. My starter made for incredible crust and elastic crumb, so I wanted to capitalize on it. If you haven't tried using some rye flour in your dough, you are doing yourself a disservice. About 20% was my sweet spot. My dad experimented with keeping his dough in a plastic tub and "kneading" it with a rubber spatula run around the sides of the tub. It made some pretty long gluten chains and the holes he had in his crumb were big enough to park a car inside. I got out of baking bread when I picked up the iron, so I never had a chance to work on the method.
