Sourdough Journal #4

Update:

I had a near sourdough fatality!  I put the plastic bowl full of sourdough sponge in the oven and turned it on, briefly, to warm it up a bit.  I said “I won’t forget,” but promptly did!  I rushed into the house (I was out counting pumpkins when I remembered) and was able to pull it out before the bowl melted!

I divided the dough in half today, for scientific study; which half will taste best?  I put two sticky blobs of dough in pans.  The other half I added flour to until it was the consistency I am used to.  I baked all four loaves at the same time.

I haven’t tasted what I’ll call the “floured loaves” yet, but the sticky loaves are very tasty - just a hint of the sour flavor and very moist.  That might be because I couldn’t wait for it to cool properly.  A day or two will tell.

I think I am going to test a new recipe next week; if I do, I will post that recipe and the results.  I am having fun experimenting and I feel a bit of a trailblazer!

Oh, be sure to let us know how the flour loaves turn out. I love to experiment too! Hope you have a wonderful evening!
