The Sauga Ends Here

Oh God! Where in the world did you get a piece of Lithium? I understand it's mostly found in Chile, not VGVille.
Some random hippy chick. I helped her run her booth at a festival when her partner ran off with a band member. She paid me in goods.
Lithium
 
Inspired by InTheShed and oldsmokey I decided to try my hand at making some sourdough bread. I started the first step of the starter and I'll be following the recipe from the link that oldsmokey posted here since Shed mentioned it was easier to follow.

Here's a pic of the starter that will sit at room temp for 24 hours before stirring.

Thanks guys for the inspiration! :love:
 
I find it funny that you are growing Lithium Og.
My pet rock happens to be a heart shaped piece of Lithium.
lithium can react with cold water violently it makes me wonder if your pet would be in any danger or a plant while watering a lithium rock

Thanks Stoner. Fun for me, true, but apparently I'm just in my wife's way.
There are a lot of good recipes you can use for your cast-out starter too. Pretzels, muffins, pizza crust, on and on. I just hated throwing out so much when I was making the starter.
I did notice that, thank you. Apparently you can store a small amount of starter in the fridge for a week and then add to that to start the process again. Something like that. I have to read up on it some more.

Oh shoot so I wasn't supposed to forget about it on my fridge until I notice it has gone bad when I went to make more bread :rofl:

You will love the bread and simple ingredients water flour salt don't get much more basic than that. Post some pics when you have a finished loaf.

Sure will. Looks like I can keep that starter in the fridge for a while without feeding as long as I use some every few months. I can also store it in ice cube form frozen in the freezer as a backup.
So much to learn. Makes growing cannabis easy.
 
:yahoo: Welcome to the sourdough club MrS! In addition to reading smokey's link, go through the steps in my Random Photos link for helpful newbie tips.

I find that my starter lasts less than a month in the fridge before there is too much moldy water on top to use without a week of refreshing, which I'm doing now. Never thought of freezing it though!
I have been looking and will check again once I get to the bread part. I did use distilled water but I guess tap water is OK if left to degas.
how to freeze sourdough starter
Another way to save starter is by freezing it in its liquid form.
  • Pour the starter into an ice cube tray and place in freezer until frozen. Transfer the cubes into a freezer-safe container and keep frozen for up to 1 year.
  • To use, allow a cube to thaw in a jar. Once fully thawed, feed with 100g water and 100g flour to reactivate the starter. (A few feedings might be necessary)
 
Chloramine takes more work and distilled is cheap.
They probably refer to well water. It's a country recipe. If it was a city recipe it would call for unwell water.

You can also dry the starter for four or five days and break it into shards and store that way too.
 
So I probably ask this anytime I hear distilled, Could RO replace it or actually go grab a little distilled?
It just so happens google knows the answer to that.

RO water is also slightly acidic, making it a good choice for baking bread. Fine Cooking points out that some of the best chefs in the world are big believers in using RO water to make their most famous recipes.
