well today has been the day to use the sourdough starter I started about 2 weeks ago. I decided to follow a river cottage recipe. It worked well. Ido have to be honest though I did start the process last night though. Here’s the link to the recipe if you’re interested:

It worked really well. I’ll put some pictures at the end to show how it’s gone. I’m impressed with my little self. I would recommend reducing the recipe though. It has made 3 decent sized loaves.

I did cheat slightly though. I did use my mixer for the initial kneading. That’s mainly cos it would have  made me completely shattered if I didn’t. And then I wouldn’t have been fit for anything.

We didn’t manage to wait for all of the loaves to be cooked though. We had to taste one to see if it was worth the work. IT WAS. One of the best homemade breads I have ever tasted. It does seem to have been a long day in the kitchen though. I have been in there most of the day so far. There has been the odd break though while the proving was happening.

Anyway here are the pictures:

Love and light to you all.
