Just wanted to say Thank You again..I have a most healthy sourdough starter..actually more healthy than I was the last few days. I have been under the weather and so didn't get a chance to try
baking any sourdough this weekend. I knew I had to take care of my starter, so I pulled it out & fed

I did manage to make 2 loaves of cinnamon raisin..I just had to bake something!!!
So..finally I am sure I have very healthy starter..all thanks to you !!!

Hand kneaded for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 45 minutes. Divided, folded, shaped and into a very cool room overnight. This morning I put them in the oven briefly heated for 45 seconds
with the light on for 4 hours, not much action. They were spreading out..and very little up so
