Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone here at TFL for this amazing community. With the help of all your comments and post I have been able to enjoy baking a variety of bread. Still taking baby steps but very excited. The handbook is also very helpful.

I know I have a long way to go still but I'm enjoying the ride at the moment.

Drying your starter

August 13, 2009 - 10:12pm -- SourFlour

I just read a comment by Bettie (bwaddle) talking about drying out your starter in an oven overnight so that you can grind it into powder. Can you create comparible breads using your dry starter and your normal starter? Is this how commerial yeast is made?

This seems like an interesting topic to me, and I am curious if people have any experiene they could share.

Thanks,

Roasted Onion and Asiago Miche, don't have room in my fridge to do the 2nd proof?

August 13, 2009 - 1:48pm -- LA Baker

Hello,

I just shaped my boules for the Roasted Onion and Asiago  Miche from the BBA.  Problem is, I don't have room in my fridge to put both baking sheets in?!  It's almost 2pm here in LA, and they've now been sitting out for about 30 minutes after shaping.  Can I bake them tonight??  Should I be waiting for them to double??

Thank you!!

Bass Ackwards PR 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich loaf

I've been baking a lot of stuff out of PR's _Whole Grain Breads_. His 100% whole wheat sandwich bread is awesome. It calls for a soaker (made with ww and buttermilk and salt) and a biga (ww and water and yeast).

Through inattention (I blame Sportscenter), I tried a variant yesterday -- the soaker used water and the biga used buttermilk. I'm happy to report it came out just as good. :)

Peach Cobbler Bread

I'm so excited! I love cinnamon raisin bread but wanted to experiment. My friend had just cut up four peaches that weren't very sweet and were turning brown in the refrigerator. What to do, what to do? I decided to try and simulate peach cobbler, which is what we originally considered doing with the peaches. I tweaked and added a few things to a basic cinnamon-raisin bread recipe. The bread came out wonderfully sweet and would have easily made delicious individual peach-cinnamon cobbler rolls. It made two loaves.
