| I'm just hangin' out, trying to get my homemade starter working enough to start baking bread. So far it's doing pretty good, and I feed it twice a day. I could probably use some of it now (it's been about 5-6 days) but everything I read says it will only get better... Did you know you have enough microbes on your arms for a starter? Not that I'd scrape my arms for it, LOL. ~d ❝Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons, for You are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup❞ ComeVisit my Blog! |

| Basically from this site below, with a few adaptations of my own... I didn't have any stone-ground WW on hand, so I started with some KA white whole wheat. I also wasn't careful about my measurement proportions since I'm not making it in my kitchen and don't have a good scale yet. (I used measuring cups or just eyeballed some of it.) My office is the only place in the house that's barely warm enough, so I have it near my coffeemaker amidst the clutter! About day 5, I added AP (not too exciting but it bubbled okay) because my bread flour was still out in the freezer. Duh. Then Day 6 (yesterday) half rye / half unbleached or unbromated KA http://WWW. The weather has turned cooler in the last 2 days and I'm having a hard time keeping my open office area up above 65º. I have some errands today and will pick up some stone-ground Bob's Red Mill flour from over in the next town. The starter smells pretty good today and I'm thinking it has only slowed due to temps. However, I may start another batch with new flour later today anyway, just for comparison, and refrigerate some of this current batch. The wheat berries I am trying to sprout aren't doing well at all, but they are quite old. I bought some new berries yesterday and will start another batch of them when I buy more spring water today. (Our chlorinated city water is terrible. Yuck. Can't even drink it.) My new camera battery came yesterday and is charging. If all goes well, I will start posting all this saga with photos on my blog. I plan to bake bread Saturday. http://sourdoughhome.com/startermyway.html ❝Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons, for You are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup❞ ComeVisit my Blog! |

| has anyone every made a honeybun cake? well, I make them all the time, especially for my Davis side of the family dinners. Monday I decided I was going to make one for our family get-together-before-the last-few-families-went-back-to-CA and-IN, and even though Ive made this cake countless times, I wasnt paying attention, so the cake is now known as an upside down honeybun cake. you're supposed to sprinkle brown sugar over the top of your prepared cake mixture, then drizzle honey all over it, and then sprinkle cinnamon all over too. then you use a knife to make swirls all thru the mix. well, brain dead me, mixed those three ingredients together in a bowl and thats when i realized the mistake. it was a thick, gooey mixture. Instead of wasting all that, i decided I'd drop it all over the cake in small drops using two spoons. uhh, welll, that heavy mix dropped to the bottom of the pan, the cake rose to the top. it looked normal. I glazed it. All was well, i thought. it was good. it was pretty. but it was a gooey mess to get out of the pan. you had to really scrape to get the good stuff out. lol, but bless my family's heart, everyone bragged anyhow.

Gives a whole new meaning to the tern 'sour dough'..... guess we could start our own business if we had a big crew of farmhands, huh?????  |

| Nannie, you have a Cmail, but since I found my way back here..... LOL could you share the Honeybun recipe? I need another cake to take to Mom's tomorrow for dinner and this one sounds perfect. I've googled the recipe, but none of them mentions using honey, only brown sugar..... Is that just a substitution? |
