I was able to use my rye starter to create a white flour based sourdough starter. It’s still not as potent as the one I had a few years ago and I don’t have the confidence in it to stop feeding it a little rye flour when refreshing it. But I was able to use it yesterday to make a nice loaf of sourdough bread. The result was delicious.
Ultimately, that’s all that counts in a starter.
The lack of substantial posts does not represent a lack of goings on. With 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 birds, a cat and a wife there is plenty to keep me occupied. Throw on top of this all the projects that are being juggled or are in the planning stages and there is plenty of potentially interesting topics to come. For the moment, however, there are just a lot of little things that kind of add up to a decent mish-mash of stuff that I suppose is worthy of posting in one spot. I’m still feeling this whole thing out and I’m trying to prevent myself from falling into the “I’ve got to post something” trap. Then again, perhaps this post is evidence that I went in to the trap head first…
