Introductions and Ideas

Hi all, love this site, found it by chance.

I live in Dublin Ireland, I am a married man with 2 teenage daughters, I have been cooking homemade pizza for nearly 3 years now, and I love it, I love it when the family say, "YES" I can smell dad's pizza, they seem to really love them, they never leave a slice.

Can somebody please help answer some questions I have.

The recipes on this site say "a cup of this" "a cup or that", I have not tried to cook like this yet. I have to use Pounds and grams. How will I get around this problem?

First time question about Nourishing Traditions Sourdough Starter

Sourdough and Starters

I realize I probably need to toss what I did today and start over.


 


But before I do, I thought I would check with this group.


 


I was trying to make the starter from Nourishing Traditions.  On the first day, she wants you to grind 2 C. of rye flour, which I did.  However, I ground 2 C. of rye, which made a lot more than 2 C. of flour.  I used it anyway (so I'm actually not sure how much flour I used, maybe 4 C?), and instead of addingthe 2 C. of water called for, I ended up using 4 C. to make it "soupy" as she described.

Sandwich bread

Hello,

I am sort of a novice maker, I am trying to make all of my bread at home for all our needs. I am having problems with my sandwich bread which always comes out with a huge crack in the sides. I have tried to proof first, I have tried baking with a pan of water in the oven at the same time. I have tried staggering the pans.

Can anyone suggest something? The bread tases ok, but looks and cuts bad.
