Sourdough/bread making

The round loaves above are zero yeast pure sourdough but the batards with cheese are a hybrid using the starter and also some dried yeast, both good flavour but think I’d prefer more sour think this can be achieved with a bit of sugar for the enzymes to feed on.

Avoiding yeast must be hard it’s on trust that the baker hasn’t added some yeast to give them a helping hand.

Time to roll sleeves up Greg get messy !

I'm going to have to try sourdough sometime.
How do you start it off and use/keep it?

Looking good, and lovely view, looks very similar to my local area around Dartmoor except a bit greener

I’ll put up my recipe later basically flour and water or in my recent recipe pineapple juice apparently stops a couple of nasties appearing, mixed in a container left to brew over a few days adding a little water and flour to feed then within 8 days you have created your starter or mother which then goes in a jar in fridge and gets fed and used as required pretty simple really for a great tasting product !

I use the Paul Hollywood starter recipe from HERE with an apple out of my garden works great

Tonight’s testers just made rested and now into the fridge to see what happens in the morning.
                                                                                 


Basic sourdough 100% wild yeast and one with the addition of walnuts cashew nuts and some Stilton.

Hopefully develops overnight and ready to bake first thing.

This mornings effort after proofing overnight got a bit stuck to the bannetons, so work in progress maybe more flour needed still smell lovely though and I’m sure will taste good later
