New to the forum
Hello all! My name is Ryan. I have been lurking 'round this wonderful site. Hiding on the bottom shelf of the pantry, I have. I live in Southern California, in a town, that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans called home. I have developed a passion for sourdough, in the past few months. I have developed a starter that is 4 months living. Have great fun working with it. Looking forward to learning some new things and sharing what I can!
Good day!
Just drove through your part of California as we went to Nevada and Utah. One day we'll stop by the museum.
What have you made with your starter? Glad you decided to introduce yourself.

Hello Marni. Thank you for the warm welcome. Although the Rogers resided here, they moved their museum to Branson, Missouri. Which they have recently closed and moved many items to auction. The houses still remain and the legacy.
I have been baking a few diferent breads with my sourdough starter. English muffin bread, A chocolate cran-raisin bread, chipotle bread, a loaf that resembles a baguette(law and history, won't let me call it a baguette...lol) Pizza shells, and an experiment with sweet potato sourdough rolls. They turned out fantastic! Among a few others I cannot recall at the moment.
Chipotle black bean bread

I love this part, it is beautiful! After first rise.

I hope that is ok to share pictures in the forum.
Thanks for looking.
Pictures are more than okay, everyone looks forward to them!
Did you bake all that recently? You've been busy!
Sweet potato breads are delicious - I make a sweet potato (or sometimes pumpkin) challah.

That's brutal to your dough! Welcome to TFL! and pass the rolls!

Those are some breads I have done in the past 3 months. I had no idea that pouring the first rise out was brutal to the dough. The instruction say "pour" it out. This is why I joined the forum...to learn. I have bowl scrapers. I am alot further into this passion, than I thought I ever would be.
