  1. I have to say this is a very good recipe. I tryed it and made your sourdough french bread. We are both 72 years old and my husband says YES this is the best. We love all your recipes and how easy it is to find what ever you want Thans again Darleen Pinckney
     
  2. I have tried may starters before and they never really produced well. I used INSTANT yeast and this starter was ready to go in 24 hours! I have recipe #13716 rising in my kitchen right now and it looks great. I did however cut the recipe (13716) into 1/4 to make 1 loaf. I think my past starters didn't produce well because I was using recipes for sourdough that called for additional yeast. This made them rise to much and the bread structure broke down after second rise. So it was probably not the starters at all but the additional yeast. Never the less, this starter kick's butt and is ready to rock and roll FAST! Thank you for this recipe. By the way...Potato water refers to the water that is left over after boiling them to fork tender. The more potatoes the stronger the potato water!! And that is good!
     
  3. Great starter recipe. I've used it to make sourdough potato bread, sourdough bread and sourdough pizza, all of which turned out excellent. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. What I like about this starter, is that when you feed it you only give it a tiny bit of sugar. I have found some recipes that call for 1/2 C to a full cup sugar when you feed it. Adding this much sugar makes the bread taste too sweet for me. Thanks!!
     
  5. This is just great. If you've never made homemade sourdough before, this is the way to go! If you want to add a little flavor to the starter, add a chunk (one you can get out again) of onion, or a couple grapes. Take them out and throw them away when you feed the starter.
