Sorry, I know this is super boring to some people (most people) but I get such a kick out of what you can do with flour and water. My original sourdough starter died. I killed it. All my fault. Complete disregard for my little starter. It was 3 1/2 years old and made so many good loafs.
The old one went in the trash and a new one began 7 days ago.
Here are the progress photos and a final product of my first loaf from this starter.
Day 1
Day 2- we have bubbles!
Day 3 - starts to get a little weird but all good
Day 4 - bubbles!
Day 5- moved to a new jar
Day 6 - that's a happy starter!
Day 7....it's almost time!
It grew a ton yesterday so I went for it...first loaf of this starter made today!
Here we go!
Doing it's thing for the next four hours. I pull at it every hour and let it rest.
Scored and ready for the oven
Ahhhhh. Delicious. The house smells so good. Can't wait to slice into it.
I follow the directions from this site for my starter and recipe for bread. I sprinkled some fresh rosemary from my garden in this one. I didn't have bread flour in the house so I used all-purpose today. It made the crust look a bit different but I bet it's just as yummy!
I sliced into it while it was still warm, cut a jersey tomato, spread some mayo, sprinkled sea salt and pepper and had myself a delicious simple sandwich. Perfect. (well if there was bacon on it then it would be perfect!)
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bread, it's so good. making a tomato sandwich with it, i can't even imagine it. BUT mikes mayo, why not hellmans?? it makes a difference!! i am seriously drooling!!!
