My first sourdough batch!
Sourdough the First
Ta da! My first batch of real sourdough (made with white starter; still waiting for the rye to be ready). A friend is cooking for a local shelter and needs some bread to go with her ziti and salad, so ... 15 loave, ready to go. Yeah, there were 16, but guess what happened to one of 'em?
I'm pleased with everything except the very first out of three sets to go in the oven, which was cold. They're ok, but just not as good looking at the rest. The others also benefited from a bit longer proof too.
Well, it's all edible and now I want to make this stuff every day!
