SD discard hot cross buns

Profile picture for user Kistida

My stiff starter Etno (50% hydration) got a refresh today after being chilled for over a week so I mixed its discard with ingredients for hot cross buns. I figured I’ll just jot down the weights as I mixed them. The dough was rather sticky but manageable. Think I should reduce a lil bit of milk the next time I make these. 

44.4% Wholemeal Potato Rosemary & Cheese loaf

Going to a lunch time gathering tomorrow and i am making a 44.4% Wholemeal Potato Rosemary and Cheese loaf. It was going to be a Sour Dough version but my starter has been sluggish recuperating from its slumber in the freezer. It will recover just may need a few feeds to gain its vigor. So a conventional bulk fermented fresh yeast dough it is.

Hi everyone. I am starting a small bread bakery business and would love any tips that you have. Specifically I am looking for which products sell the best and basic startup ideas/advice. Thank you very much in advance.

So here is what I am considering the "final" version of my Sourdough.  This was my first attempt at really creating something of my own and not relying totally on someone else's formula.

Hi guys

im New to sourdough  although I can maintain my starter in the past but now run into a snag. I have about 2.2 # of starter. How do I feed this. I’ve tried replacing one cup starter with 8oz flour and 8 Oz water but the results I get with the action is not near with the action when I was first feeding the starter.   Now it takes forever to ferment and bubbling is weak not as it was. 
what am I doing wrong 

thanks for any help
