sour dough chronicals
so the next set of loaves (from last week) didn't go as planned. flavor was great, texture was okay, but i still can't get it to rise.
I have made what I call "Frankenstein starter" which was a bit of all 3 of my starters. 1 died and I can't keep up with 2. so. here we be. maybe the next one will be better
Sourdough baking can be a rewarding yet challenging experience, especially when faced with issues like poor rising and texture. The key to success often lies in understanding the characteristics of different starters and how they interact with the dough. A 'Frankenstein starter' can offer a unique blend of flavors, but it’s important to maintain proper feeding and hydration levels. Incorporate a regular feeding schedule to keep your starter active. When experimenting with different starters, note the ratios and adjustments that yield the best results in your loaves. Online communities like #sourdoughlife and #sourdoughskills provide a wealth of information and shared experiences to help you troubleshoot common baking challenges. Don’t forget that patience plays a crucial role in sourdough baking. While it may take several attempts to perfect your loaves, every failure is a step towards improvement. Keep experimenting, adjust your techniques, and most importantly, enjoy the process of sourdough baking.
