Sourdough English Muffins II

Ok friends, I know I’ve already made this recipe and wrote a post about it but I just have to revisit it. If you missed my original post, click here… So, at this point, I’ve made this recipe about 8 or 9 times. I’m certainly not an expert, but I’m definitely getting the feel for……

Sourdough Crackers

I found this recipe on a blog about sourdough. I was super excited to give it a try because you use your discarded starter. For those that don’t know, each day I feed Fred (my sourdough starter.) This means that I measure out and mix equal parts of Fred, water, and flour. The starter that……

Sourdough English Muffins

So, I decided I wanted to try the English muffin recipe in my sourdough cookbook. It seemed easy enough. I started by mixing Fred (my sourdough starter) with some flour and water. He hung out on my counter for 6 hours. The activated starter all ready to go! Next, I mixed the activated starter with……

Sourdough Starter

Well, friends, you should see Fred! I know you’re probably thinking “What is Fred still doing hanging around! What about the new one, Cali?!?!” Well, once Cali showed up, I think Fred decided he had to get to work and stop loafing around. Seriously, look at him now! After I started Cali (who is still……

Sourdough Take 2

Well, friends, the loaf looks no better this morning. The chickens can have it, IF they’ll even eat it. Lol! What I didn’t tell you before, is that earlier this week I received a dehydrated sourdough starter from California. In the directions, I am assured this will be successful. In fact, even if I totally……

First Sourdough Baking Day

Today’s the day, my friends! It’s BAKING DAY!!! I got the ingredients all mixed together and let it rise for 90 minutes. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It didn’t rise much. But…I soldiered on. The second 90 minute rise was a little better. At least this time I saw little blisters on……

Sourdough Day 5

Alright, Fred! Carpe Diem! Today’s your day, my little counter surfer! Here’s what he looked like this morning. There was a lot more hooch on him than yesterday at this time. Oh Fred, you little party animal! Per the directions from the book, I just fed my little hoochy friend his last supper. This was……

Sourdough Day 4

Well, since my starter and I are going to be together for a while, I decided to name him. Friends, meet Fred. You’re probably looking at Fred and thinking he looks a little different than yesterday. Why yes, he does. There is a liquid on top of Fred. I did a little research and apparently……

Sourdough Day 3

First, let’s take a look at what we’ve got! The starter is looking pretty good! Or at least I think this is how it’s supposed to look! Lol! I’m not going to lie, though, I am really not impressed with how dirty this container looks! I know this is the process and all, so I’ll……

Sourdough Day 2

Look at that first picture!!! See those beautiful little air bubbles?!?! I’m pretty sure that’s a good sign! Sorry, I’m just kinda excited over here! Ok, it could be that I’m stuck at home with nothing better to do than obsess over my sourdough starter! Lol! Seriously…take a look! Anyway, since it’s day 2, I……
