Sourdough

Jan 31, 2011 21:38

So I am now in possession of some sourdough starter from my mom. While I have tried to make sourdough in the past, they never really took properly and "old dough" bread I made from previously saved pieces of dough never really had the oomph needed to properly leaven a loaf. I am going to do a little experimenting with the starter that I do have, like making some sourdough pancakes this week. Good thing I bought some syrup a few weeks ago.

Still, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with a cup of starter I'm going to be left with every week when I feed the starter. Previously, I would just store it and use it when I bake bread so the flour and water doesn't go to waste, but if I generate a cup a week I'm going to run out of places to store the stuff. I also cannot eat a loaf a bread a week. It's just not possible for me.

I will try to keep up with the starter as best as I can. I am looking forward to those pancakes later this week.
