Last Sunday 24th April my son and his lovely wife had their first child, our first Grandson :)
I decided to create a new starter on the same day in celebration! (the plan being if possible to keep this one going forever...... a sort of family heirloom!)
So on Friday whilst my daughter-in-law was feeding Finn, I was feeding 'Finn24' hehe, but instead of throwing away the discard I decided to make a loaf with it! I fed it three more times at 1.1.1 then left it to ferment for most of Saturday afternoon before putting it in the fridge (it needed retarding) and taking it out this morning to shape and prove.
I did not have access to my usual facilities at home so I had to 'wing it' a bit.
The photo above is the result :) The dough was a little wetter than normal and the oven a little cooler than normal, but hey, it looks OK and tastes really good! Since it is very young there is only a hint of sourness.
For the first loaf ......... I'm quite happy :)
