Now I'm...Well done for cracking the sourdough. Now I'm doing my weekly bake with it, I think it's brilliantly easy. Andrew Whitley whose bread course I went on was very against the idea of "feeding" - it's not a pet, he said and shouldn't be viewed as such. Now you've confirmed why it's not such a great idea if it scares everyone off from the commitment. Mine lives in the fridge and touch wood, seems to be fine, even when I've left it for 3 weeks.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-61403219763080990502010-10-12T09:31:44.152+01:002010-10-12T09:31:44.152+01:00Azelia - I will take the wholemeal path next!

I then have a batch in the fridge for short-term use and have a batch out only when I know I will use it soon. <br />The teacher of my first sourdough class mentioned adding a pinch of bran to a sourdough that looks sluggish. This has always worked for me. <br />Once you start using sourdough, you won't stop. I should try making English muffins with it.Simona Carinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621645217450504400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-21867318745852836082010-10-11T09:55:37.141+01:002010-10-11T09:55:37.141+01:00Oh No!
