I'm Addicted

I'm addicted to baking sourdough bread. And as you can see, I'm getting better at it.
No, I'm not going to quit my job and open a bakery.

Homemade Sourdough Bread

I got out my sourdough start last night, fed it, and went to bed. My mom told me to add a little honey to the start to jump-start it a little. When I got up, the sourdough sponge was flowing over the top of my crock and onto the counter. Jump-start is right I guess. So I cleaned that up and started some bread dough.
















I used my mom's secret recipe. It rose in a warm oven for about 2 hours and then I formed a big loaf and let it rise again for about an hour. Then while it was baking I spritzed it with water to give it that chewy crust. It looks great and the house smells amazing. I don't know how I'm going to eat it all, by myself.... :) I guess Bells will be glad to help out....
