This sourdough seems to take more time to tame than a new puppy!!!

If it works it will be fantastic, it smells devine :)

Well redoing it did no  good. I will use it for cheese and bacon scrolls as I have never made them and see what happens.

Now I have to wait for more starter.

bugger big time.

3.30pm, I've just arrived home, check my second starter and after two days it has tiny bubbles, I'm not going to feed it until tomorrow, make sure these are rising bubbles, I've wrapped it in a little blanket to keep it warm......OOHHHH

Scrolling was not successful,so I just shoved the bugger into the oven.

The flavour  is wonderful but very chewy.

Oh well. Try again.

I am still leaving mine to see if it rises. It has an 8pm deadline, then it just gets shoved in the oven. The smell was great so I think it will be tasty. Well I hope so. Its been a warm day today but that hasnt helped it.

  Hally,  if it doesn't rise leave it out over night.  If not risen in the morning,  add 1 teaspoon of yeast and mix in TMX.  Let it rise,  then bake.

I didn't think you were meant to add yeast for the sour dough loaf using the starter. Hope is rises overnight.

I have just had a couple of bad days - I thought I had sent my pet to sourdough heaven - flat with no bubbles, but no bad smell!!  Fortunately, I took Judy's comment to heart, that it was probably just cold and hungry and, sure enough, a bit of a larger meal last night and a warmer room and it's looking much, much happier.  If it keeps going as it is I am hoping to tackle my first loaf this weekend.  Fingers crossed, anyway.
