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....
You should have taken a picture of the overflowed jar! ;) That bread is HUGE!!!!! It looks so yummy! I'll have to try it when I get a chance!
ReplyDeleteShannon, you can't put a post up with yummy bread and then say it's "secret". Please please give me that recipe. It looks SOOOO good!
ReplyDeleteHi Alison-- This is actually Stewart. I can send the recipe to you... do you have a sourdough starter to use? I can tell you how to make one if not...
