Hello, I would like to start making sourdough bread like my husbands grandmother used to. To carry on the tradition. So I started checking out internet sites and happened on this one. It looked like it had a lot of good info and plenty of help from knowledgable people. So here I am. I have a lot of question. Where do I post questions? Do I need to be in a special forum for that? Let me know. My husbands grandmother did her sourdough starter a little different from what I have been reading so I'm not sure what to do. She would keep a ball of dough that she would take before cutting her loaves out (this included the salt, sugar, and shortening to make the bread) to save to make her next batch of bread. I have not found any info about this method. Does anyone have any idea? Thank you, TerryB
