Jes keep at it, scotty... Just like you'd tell me about my first washes

The thing about bread is getting that yeast starter just right, and then making sure the air temp where the bread rises is consistient. If sun shines thru the winder on your loaves, that can overheat the surface and not the center causing an uneven rise and some yeast kill too...Not a bad deal when making dinner rolls, but a PITA on loaves.. I like to make those braided loaves, and the dough needs to rise once, and then re-kneaded, rolled and braided before allowing a 2nd rise. Knowing just "when" to stop that first rise and re-knead/braid is a developing art because not every batch works the same (Sound similar?)

I love fresh bread, when I have time to make it...

I suspected that there was not enough yeast-- 1 pk of fleischmans and 16 cups of flour-- we have a sweedish mixer that kneeds the bread well-- we will try again in a week--ill use 2 packs of yeast next time??? what do you think?

thanks for the tip--i try more yeast next time.

Mornin Okie...

For "true" sourdough, all it takes is a bit of backset

yep, take a ball of today's dough and store it till next time in the fridge. Now, the purists (My Gma included) would tell you it needs to "sit" a few days in the fridge or cellar, and then get folded into the next batch. After about 10+ batches, the flavor will really start to develop. The flavor will be quite pronounced over store bought sourdough.

The issue with it is you are bound to making bread on a regular basis or your sour dough backset will spoil. Since I'm not quite retirement age for a few years yet, I can't make bread but about once a fortnight, and I've a bit too many things on the spit, being spring time and all.. (Garden prep, pasture prep, stillin', music)

Yes sir, I do, as well as host events at the ranch, play all over the durn DFW area.. In the band, I play lead acoustic guitar and do vocals.

I play a variety of instruments - Guitar, banjer, Dobro, Stand up Bass, and this year I took on Mando. Primarily Bluegrass, but I also vocal some country numbers that i've arrange in an "americana" format (not quite 'grass, not quite country- more contemporary sounding).

What do you play?
