BBA Basic Sourdough
Katie, I was so anxious to try using my starter instead of the barm - and already I have a question. My 4oz. of starter was less than 2/3cups. Do you think it was because my starter was revved up and more liquid? I sorta kinda split the difference and went ahead anyway - I'll let you know what happens. I am also fretting a bit about "firm French bread dough" because I have never made French bread and don't really know how firm it should be. I see PR says tacky but not sticky. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks for your help, A

Hi AnnieT, I don't use volume measurements anymore, since it's so much easier to just weigh them. So, I would go with the weight measurement in the future for greatest accuracy. At any rate, be sure to share how the bread turned out!
Also, I have read that sticky sticks to your hand when you pull it away, but tacky only sticks until you pull your hand away, and leaves no residue. Hope that helps!
