SOURDOUGH TIPS
:
- Do not use metal bowls or spoons to store and/or stir starter.
- If starter is not going to be used immediately cover and refrigerate. The clear liquid that forms on the surface should be stirred in
once a week.
- If the liquid that forms on the surface of starter turns pink in color at any time, discard the starter and start over again with fresh
ingredients.
- Starter should always be at room temperature before it is used.
- Thickness of starter will vary, therefore when making the first loaf of sourdough bread, observe dough during the kneading cycle. If
the dough seems too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until dough is soft and elastic. If dough is too wet and does not form a ball
of dough, add 1-tablespoon bread flour at a time until dough forms into a nice ball.
- The sour taste of the bread will vary with the tartness of the starter. Note that the recipes provide amounts of starter to use for mild
and strong sourdough flavor. You may wish to start with the mild flavored recipe first.
- Sourdough bread made in a bread machine usually requires the addition of yeast as most starters are not strong enough to be used
alone for proper rising of bread in the programmed times.
-
To increase the supply of starter, feed with 2 cups of bread flour and 2 cups of 38°C milk.
-To share starter with a friend, give 2 cups away, 1 cup to use immediately and the second cup to feed and maintain supply.
