A friend of mine has been baking sourdough bread for a while now, and after learning how easy it is, at least how easy it is to grow your own starter, I decided to have a go. It seems that if you have made yeast based bread before this should be fairly easy, you’ll know a little about kneading and rising etc. and if you have a breadmaker all the extra work is done for you. Although I do enjoy the kneading myself!
The starter, pictured above, is made from one cup of unbleached organic flour and one cup of warm water, left in a warm place for about three days. It also needs to be feed every 24 hours during this time and be in a breathable container.
Mine went all bubbly and beer smelling, which is the plan. Just will have to wait and see how the bread turns out!
I found all the info I needed here, and here. Have a go, sourdough is one of those old ways of making bread and the starters were often shared in a community, so why not start your own?
