Homemade Bread from Sourdough Starter
Hi! I'm currently at the helm of the @Ireland account (13 - 19 Nov 2017) and have been tweeting all week about what I get up to. One of the things I regularly do is make my own bread from sourdough starter. A few kind peops have asked for the recipe so I thought I'd share it (below). Enjoy!
Sourdough Starter
You can buy or make your own. Making your own costs practically nothing and just takes time.
Add about 1 & 1/2 cups warm water to 1 cup flour and mix together. Mixture should resemble a thin soup. Cover with tea cloth and leave for 5-7 days, after which it should start to be a bit stinky (that's good). There should also be loads of bubbles on the surface. Its alive!
Your sourdough starter will now need to be feed every day or every other day, about 1/2 cup flour to 1/4 cup warm water (mix thoroughly). If going away for the weekend or on hols, you can put in fridge for up to maybe 10 days.

Okay, this is the tricky part because bread is reall…
