It's probably OK, really. That's not a terribly long time.

Personality too, for the trifecta, or is that where the sour turns to sweet?

you can always bring sourdough starters back to life. give it heat & love and it will come back..

Here is my sourdough #2!!!



this time i went 50% whole wheat

also i think my dutch oven might be a bit too small for this loaf to fully expand, it got kinda smushed up :(

at least it didnt explode all over like my first loaf did. you live and you learn :q:

no idea but it could probably contain like half the load im putting in it right now with comfort to expand, im straining the limits!!

i dont know if i get a huge dutch oven for a million dollars or just bake without one, would that even work? could i use a pizza stone?

if your buying a dutch oven make sure its large enough fit whatever size loaf you are used to getting, the bread will expand out to the shape of the sides of it

I don't think it's supposed to touch the sides, but I don't know if that will harm anything save the appearance, either

Lahey has called the dutch oven used in his recipe an 'oven within an oven', so it might be necessary.

You might be able to find one at a garage sale, my sister got lucky and got a Le Creuset for pretty cheap. The only thing wrong with it is the ugly burnt-orange color.


I'm making a sourdough focaccia, which took forever to rise, even though I included a pretty good portion of very active starter. It lagged so much that I had to make a normal one, just to satisfy the baking urge. The same thing happened with a cornmeal loaf a while back, too. That one took super long from a mildly active starter, and wound up super sour. My friend's midwestern tastebuds couldn't handle it.

It's kind of uneven and not risen enough, but I'm falling asleep, so I had to pop it in the oven. I think it'll be passable, but it smells kind of weird once it started baking.

I'm ordering a linen canvas proofing cloth (couche) tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. There's a YouTube video of some old gut talking about how to use one, and I keep laughing when he talks about how you shouldn't wash your couche.

Sourdough focaccia fresh out of the oven; normal one I've been snacking on for four hours.



The picture doesn't really show how misshapen and poorly risen the sourdough loaf is.

50:50 white and whole wheat flour, 80% hydration, 15% jalapeños seeded and chopped (I like a mix of rings and maybe 1/3 finely chopped but not quite diced so you get good flavor throughout and good bites of jalapeño), 15% cubed sharp cheddar, 30% grated sharp cheddar, like 30% starter, and some salt. Autolyse for 1 hour, then add the grated cheese with the salt and starter. Add the cubed cheese and jalapeños when it's relaxed a bit after the second fold (just gently squeeze it into the dough w your hands until it's all mostly incorporated, you don't want to cut the dough at this point). Give it 4-5 folds overall, divide and shape when a bit more than doubled, proof overnight in the fridge. Sprinkle with grated cheese right before baking.

As soon as the couche I ordered yesterday arrives. It's just too messy dealing with that wet dough otherwise.

I am jealous of your breakfast.

That sounds awesome, and my jalapeños have started fruiting. Now you've made me impatient.

Nope

I also did one a few weeks ago w/ carmelized onions and goat cheese, and rolled the top in everything bagel seasoning and it was AMAZING. No pics tho.

Sourdough makes awesome whole wheat raisin bread too, I like the tartine recipe w/ some freshly toasted/ground coriander seed

70% whole wheat, 83% hydration, golden raisins and coriander seed per Tartine Bread, the best raisin bread in the world, possibly also the best whole wheat bread in the world

Jews can't eat cheese and meat from the same plate so putting the cheese in the bread means they can't put any meat on their sadwich

bread #6, best one yet hands down

this time i didnt use any parchment paper in the dutch oven which gave it a really nice uniform shape, i also used the "towel flop" technique to toss it straight in. instead of a few cuts on the top i did one lengthwise

someone help me i can't stop baking!!!

just a simple cast iron one, got it from my mother who had no need for it anymore.

it bakes pretty perfect size loafs, i guess a larger one would be fun, maybe a large round one but eh they're wicked expensive new and this works

added a peach next to it for scale

some people use cheap paving stones from like home depot to bake on. if you do use one of those make sure to add a lot of moisture during baking, i like tossing in ice cubes after i open the lid on my dutchie

So I've been preparing a starter in a bowl at room temperature for a week or so, feeding it flour and water every day. How long til I can make bread? The starter doesn't float in water yet
