Sour Dough Starter Kit
« Reply #-1 on: December 31, 2013, 04:49:06 PM »
One of the Christmas presents my dearest got me was a King Arthur Flour Sour Dough Starter Kit. This is a crock container and lid to keep/store starter in, and starter, which is a descendant of a starter started over 250 years ago! Pretty cool! I got this a week early because it needed to be fed within 24 hrs. of delivery. It is truly like having another pet as it requires thought and feeding once a week. Well I've shared the starter already, to one of the BILs, he made pancakes with it and said they were killer. Life has been a blur so I haven't used mine, until Sunday night. I started an all starter batch of bread using no yeast. It is refrigerated for a long rise after a long rise at room temp. Today I baked two loaves of this extra-tangy bread. Came out pretty good. We will try it later this evening with snacks, smoked cheeses, salamies, and shrimp and grits!
I might be back later, but if not, we are hoping everyone has a Fun, Safe, and Happy New Year!

I'd love to be able to successfully do sourdough - have tried it several times but it never turned out.

Bread looks great, hikerman!

Very cool!  I love the taste of sourdough and especially the dense chewy bread it can make.

Your sourdough will be unique, because of where you live.

Nice to see other people getting into bread making. Some of us who also belong to the bradley forum have been lucky to score some of Sonny's sweet bread starter. To me its more like a Easter bread my mom used to make, perhaps because of the sugar you add to it. I got a good batch from sonny about a year ago and its been going strong. If I'm not into making any bread for a while I just freeze it in one cup jars till I am ready for more bread. I have even perfected dehydrating it to store for shipping. There have been accidents where they can explode from the gases  ;D and the border guys don't like that.


Congratulation's on your Sour Dough Starter Kit. I am sure it will give you a lot of good eating bread.

I tried to make sourdough starter from scratch... it didn't work!

That's why I'm a chef and not a baker <lol>!

I really don't have any suggestions other than you have to be patient when you try bringing it back to life. It might take two or three feedings to get it going again but so far it has only taken me one feeding to get my starter going. I just put mine in mason jars and off to the freezer for storage and later use.

Thanks Smoken..I will try that..specially in the summer when I'm camping..That seems when I lose interest for a while. Can't leave it at the campground..too hot and hubby won't feed it..go figure.  Pam    ☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི
