Or find some real sourdough bread at a local bakery (watch because some bread labeled sourdough is not true sourdough) and see how you react to it.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-74408108576853866672013-08-16T15:19:39.421-04:002013-08-16T15:19:39.421-04:00Do you have any idea if sour dough bread would be ...Do you have any idea if sour dough bread would be tolerated better by those with a gluten intolerance?

We live in the tropics, in Papua New Guinea and I find it so easy to get my starter very active and bubbly.<br />Also, I think the fact that "tropical" sourdough doesn't taste as sour has to do with the quicker rise/higher temperature.<br />Anyway, I found your blog because I was searching for information regarding sourdough and enjoy browsing through your blog.<br />DinaDinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341239931247508247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-81968235097758597802013-04-24T15:02:45.723-04:002013-04-24T15:02:45.723-04:00I don't know how old my starter is because I g...I don't know how old my starter is because I got it from someone who made sourdough bread for years.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the book!

I have just recently got a yard sale bread machine and my family is in love with it. so after reading your post I have been reading n reading on this. I have started my own starter today but have a friend that is going to bring me one that was started in 1990 I just can't imagine this, then I started wondering how old yours maybe? I never told you I loved the book I ordered from you, kinda hoping you would write more :) SmithGanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506929601839784969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-73761087605127182532013-04-12T17:52:40.153-04:002013-04-12T17:52:40.153-04:00I came across your site while researching my new s...I came across your site while researching my new sourdough interest. I just made a Detmolder rye loaf for the first time, and in my reading I found that the last of the three proofing periods, done in an extra-warm environment, is supposed to sweeten the dough by encouraging lactic acid development over the acetic acid. I wonder if that is part of the sweetness that you experienced in the tropical environment.

Our weather has been warm the last couple of days and my starter is definitely lively-er.<br /><br />I find that more whole wheat makes my bread more sour, too.

Today as I stepped outside I was reminded how close to summer heat we are. It was warm and muggy! I tried sourdough once a few years ago and I have been afraid to try it again since. It was so stinky I couldn't stand to go into the kitchen. I never even baked the bread! I had my husband chunk it in the woods bowl and all! After looking at all of your yummy sourdough recipes I'm tempted to try it agin but I'm afraid. Maybe the recipe I tried wasn't a good one. Or maybe I just didn't do it right. Your's looks wonderful!5N Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925768971377572517noreply@blogger.com
