I've tried a couple times to get my "starter" started using recipes off you tube and failed miserably will try again in a month or two.
I was trying to figure out what the difference between a sourdough started and yeast for pizza dough!?
I'll try your recipe next!
Gah, Philip, we’d be 400 pounds and diabetic if we did that. I do not know how the settlers brought their starter along, but I know they slept with it at night to keep it warm. There’s a guy somewhere in the PNW who died many years ago, but his starter lives on. He used to have a mail-order starter club. He’d send you his starter in the mail! His friends have kept it alive and distribute it out for nothing but the cost of shipping, just as he did.
I bake bread twice per week.
Joe - #clemsaregems is totally my hashtag and you know it.
PS I decided we can grow Rivendell one Clem at a time. I just need some really exciting hashtags. So far I have: #clemsaregems and #betterlivingthroughclemistry...

Dear BBDD,
That sourdough recipe is about as non-fussy as it gets.
Last night I jump-started a sourdough starter with commercial yeast.
I divided it, fed it this morning, and mixed up the dough. I baked it when I got home from work.
I don't expect it to have the complexity of a symbiotic wild yeast/bacteria culture yet, but it sure baked up nicely.
Thank you!
Best Regards
Will

Here's my take on the same recipe that lambbo posted. I've been making it for many, many years and I don't make any other bread. This makes a BETTER loaf than Antone's (just kidding, really). It doesn't involve a blender. It does involve a dutch oven.I put a medium-sized mixing bowl on a scale, tare it, and add 15 ounces all-purpose flour. King Arthur's has consistently been the most delicious.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (not instant). Whisk the dry ingredients or just stir them up with the handle of a spatula.

Bicycles and bread. Well, I baked a loaf of bread this morning - 50/50 wholemeal and rye - and then went for a bike ride. And towards the end of the ride I stopped at a bulk grocery and bought a couple more kilos of rye flour so I can keep baking.

I made this loaf on Tuesday. Yellow pots are just so happy.

Most folks don’t bake bread and the grocery store shelves have been bare. You sound like you’ve got it down and can really turn out the loaves. Start a business!

This is a bike story that starts out as a school lunch story.
School lunch is always a crapshoot - we all remember the days, don’t we? The rise and fall of my elementary school happiness could be determined by the menu in the school cafeteria. Would it be the celebrated chicken patty on a bun? Or would we suffer through the dreaded sauerkraut and sausage? Yes, school lunch is a crapshoot alright, and all the more so if you come from a religious background that necessitates a vegetarian tray.
My son, whom we’ll call #TheClemRider, sits next to one such kid, who we’ll call E. Inevitably, the evil trolls of the school lunch program will serve E something decidedly non-veg - like a hamburger. E will dump his tray and look longingly into #TheClemRider’s lunchbox of fresh and homemade things and beg a morsel or two. #TheClemRider, who has a golden heart, will always share. And sometimes, we pack extra for E. And this is the pattern we have had for their entire 8th grade year.
The thing that E wants most out of my son’s lunchbox is his sourdough bread. I’ve been baking sourdough for years, and I use it to make the boys’ sandwiches. So much does E love this bread that he asked for the recipe. If you know about sourdough, you know you’ve got to have and keep a starter. So, I finagled a way to send the recipe and the starter with #TheClemRider. The first day, E threw the starter in the trash. He would need to clear this with his mother, he said, so she wouldn’t “think it was crack.” On our second attempt, the starter made it home with E where he attended to it and promptly killed it. He came back to my son asking for a 3rd dose of starter.
I said no more. New deal: E comes to our house and I will give him a one-on-one lesson in my kitchen and THEN send him home with his 3rd attempt. Surprisingly, E agreed.
E told #TheClemRider that he is not the only one who bikes - he considers himself *quite* accomplished and rides his bike all over his neighborhood. Killer Hill would not be a big deal for him. It’s a school holiday, and E got permission to ride his bike to our house and get his sourdough lesson.
But what stands between E and his sourdough lesson is a monster we call Killer Hill. Killer Hill is a mile long punisher with several hundred feet of elevation gain. The roadies use it as a challenging workout. The rest of the population avoids it. We use it to get to and from school. We know the burning of lungs and straining of legs required to conquer Killer Hill. I am not optimistic.
#TheClemRider worries. He knows the trials of that hill and has rarely seen any other kid ride it. He told E he would bike down to E’s neighborhood and ride up Killer Hill with him. I wonder what type of bike E will be using, and if he can carry anything. I tell #TheClemRider to look out for E at the crossings for the side neighborhoods. I have been told I am not allowed to check on them - #TheClemRider was very strict about this - but I’m tracking his iPhone and they appear to be moving very, very, VERY slowly.
***Update! They have arrived! E made a fine showing with a final burst of speed at the end, and then, heaving, asked me, “HOW do you DO that hill?!? That was terrifying.”
Gotta go, Friends. We’ve got sourdough to make!
