I really have to get organised and get some sourdough going. This is certainly one to try thanks troupie

It sounds tasty Troupie. Does the boiling water cool done a lot before you put the starter in?

[troupie]

I never thought of that but I didn't pour the water on while it was still bubbling away. The original recipe didn't mention it either so I suppose the time I was fiddling around getting dish greased and other ingredients out was enough to cool it down a bit. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I really love the sound of it. I'm not sure if I will have time to make it before I go to Tasmania. If I don't it will be on top of my list for when I get home.

I'm feeding up my starter to make this tomorrow.

I made this today. My starter was quite runny so I put less boiling water. It was still quite a liquids consistency, not like a bread at all. However, I had a slice this afternoon and it tastes lovely. Thanks troupie.

A very inviting looking loaf cookie, must put it ln my to do list.

Yes it does look just like mine; hope you are happy with the result. We put some butter on it. I hope I haven't killed my starter as have had a cold (just the cough bit) and not looking after anything.

This recipe has inspired me to make a sourdough starter again. Hope it works.
