Hello from South Cali

I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself.  I've been fooling around with baking for the last three months.  I've recently began trying to grow a starter and use it instead of commercial yeast with very little success.  However, I am going to keep on trying until I figure it out.  This forum is a wealth of information.

you came to the right place

Hi Dennis,

I was in exactly the same place last August when I started hangin' out here.  Now I regularly bake naturally leavened bread 3 or 4 times a week and it almost always comes out great. Every step of the process has had my attention at one time or another - sometimes it's mixing, sometimes it's shaping, etc. etc. You're in the right place for advice and generally getting cheered on on your endeavours.  Welcome.

Where in SoCal?

Where in SoCal?  I'm in Santee, and just started baking with my WONDERFUL whole white wheat sourdough starter this week.  I'm in love with it!!!
