Kind of got my starter back happy I think after a couple of days nurturing!
This dough was made at 6 last night turned throughout the evening then left to bulk ferment overnight, just poured it on the bench to rest before shaping, loads of bubbles so promising!

                                                                                 
                                                                       

Over by there

I got side tracked so starter has just been kept ticking over. Going for next week now.

After retarding for 24 hours in the fridge baked one loaf off this morning, wasn’t a massive spring but great crust and crumb and lovely sour flavour !

Starting a miserable Sunday weather wise with some sourdough pancakes slowly activated while I slept!
                                                                       

Over by there

Made some US style pancakes the other day and finished off my maple syrup. Didn't think to use the starter.

Made a dough yesterday using all my excess starter up 300g of it with a kg of flour and anything I could find lying around that needed using up, so blue cheese walnuts mixed seeds dried chilli! Ended up with 3 loaves so I hope it’s tasty.
Bulk proved during the day then fridge overnight,looking forward to the results later!
