If I leave starter on counter, how long will it take to defrost? I live I. Southern California and it is going to be a warm day.

I tried your recipe using the last potato in the house and it came out delicious. I have since been using about 1 1/4 cup instant potatoes and it has done wonderfully. Since this recipe makes 3 loaves at a time, I keep 2 for our family and give one away. I love the texture and taste of this bread immensely as do those who have received it as a gift. Some of these people have begun their own sourdough journeys. I have passed on your blog and recipes to others and have received their thanks in return.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926899941362329828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-5134617636839261462018-01-07T15:33:06.717-05:002018-01-07T15:33:06.717-05:00Sadye-

You can compare them to this recipe to find equal measurements. <br /><br />One of my "some day" projects is to add weight measurements to all these recipes.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-61430210328390892442018-01-07T14:27:57.507-05:002018-01-07T14:27:57.507-05:00Hello!

While I know this is an old post I was wondering if you know what the measurements are in weight? <br /><br />Also wanted to let you know that I started reading other posts on your blog and I really enjoy it, especially the ones regarding your faith and family. Thanks again and looking forward to reading more of your posts!<br />SadyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-80529309744877073472014-03-24T15:02:32.257-04:002014-03-24T15:02:32.257-04:00This is the most awesome, easiest to make bread I ...This is the most awesome, easiest to make bread I have ever made and I have been baking bread for my family for over 34 years.

What I do is start with 3 cups flour, warm milk, and sourdough starter as a sponge and let this ferment overnight.<br /><br />First thing in the morning I cook the potato, let it cool, and proceed with the rest. I also add 1 tsp of baking soda. <br /><br />Been very successful for me and even my wife will eat my whole wheat bread.<br /><br />Alice,<br /><br />It is easy to make sweet breads with a sourdough starter. What I do is eliminate the overnight sponge and simply proceed with the bread recipe in one go...never gives a chance for the lactic acid to build up as happens in an overnight sponge.<br /><br />If you want the sourness in the bread use the overnight sponge. AND the amount of baking soda regulates the acid bite so experiment a bit with more or less soda. Start with 1 tsp.<br /><br />WinstonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-35973154304520144032012-02-14T07:38:56.239-05:002012-02-14T07:38:56.239-05:00Alice-

I believe I converted it to a regular sourdough by eliminating the sugar and only feed it with equal amounts of flour and water. It seems to do what I think starters are supposed to do. It smells good (nice and sour) and has the clear liquid on the top. I keep it in the frig until Sat. when I use it to make bread. Do you think I successfully made a yeast bread starter or not? I have a small amount in my freezer in case I destroy my starter. Can I resurrect it by feeding it 2 cups of flour and water?<br />AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562147321756968067noreply@blogger.com
