The round loaves above are zero yeast pure sourdough but the batards with cheese are a hybrid using the starter and also some dried yeast, both good flavour but think I’d prefer more sour think this can be achieved with a bit of sugar for the enzymes to feed on.
Avoiding yeast must be hard it’s on trust that the baker hasn’t added some yeast to give them a helping hand.
Time to roll sleeves up Greg get messy !
My starter and my loaf for tomorrow - looking very healthy data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Also a random pic 5 mins walk from my house and pretty awesome earlier
I'm going to have to try sourdough sometime.
How do you start it off and use/keep it?
Looking good, and lovely view, looks very similar to my local area around Dartmoor except a bit greener data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I’ll put up my recipe later basically flour and water or in my recent recipe pineapple juice apparently stops a couple of nasties appearing, mixed in a container left to brew over a few days adding a little water and flour to feed then within 8 days you have created your starter or mother which then goes in a jar in fridge and gets fed and used as required pretty simple really for a great tasting product !
I use the Paul Hollywood starter recipe from HERE with an apple out of my garden works great
How to Make a Sourdough Starter: Day One - Pinch My Salt

Basic sourdough 100% wild yeast and one with the addition of walnuts cashew nuts and some Stilton.
Hopefully develops overnight and ready to bake first thing.
This mornings effort after proofing overnight got a bit stuck to the bannetons, so work in progress maybe more flour needed still smell lovely though and I’m sure will taste good later
