Sourdough

I am currently working on catching a sourdough starter and so far it is working!!  I followed the tutorial from an eBook that I found at this website.  I started it on Tuesday morning and it has already gotten to the point where it doubles in size after each feeding.  I should start calling our kitchen a laboratory since we seem to have something fermenting all of the time.  From sauerkraut to beer to sour dough.  I should start another water kefir.  My sons are cuckoo for that stuff.

I am diving into the world of sourdough because I want to be better about traditionally preparing my grain.  Soaking grain takes a lot of planning ahead.  Sourdough takes some of the waiting out of the picture.  Besides, sourdough tastes awesome.  Apparently I am supposed to continue the feeding until the starter is a week old.  But, I may be able to start using it as early as tomorrow.  Perhaps we will have some sourdough waffles for breakfast?

Stay tuned for my successes and failures.  I plan to try ALL of the recipes in that eBook.
