my first sourdough of 2011

18 February 2011 by Dominic Franks

can you believe that i’ve kept Lucretia locked up and unused until now…?

… i’ve been feeding her regularly of course… and when i’ve not been around, Tracey, my good friend and neighbour has popped in to feed her… but I have not baked a sourdough since Christmas…

… and here she is, perfect, proud and as perky as always… a great way to start a weekend!

I used my regular recipe but replaced one of the cups of white flour with a cup of wholewheat flour…

… can’t wait for breakfast…

    My God! Lucretia is bustin' out!When I initially looked at your loaf, I thought you made a 'stuffy'! That is beautiful! Whatever you're doing with Lucretia, she is lovin' it! Kudos, Dom!

    Great looking loaf. I had started a starter a while ago but my mother in law became ill and I forgot to take care and feed her. Not my mother in law by the way I'm taking about the sour dough stater. lol Will have to try again. Every time I see the sour dough bread I wish I had the starter all ready to go.

    Oh the shame reading this post bestows upon me. I have successfully made my sourdough starter which is now lurking in the back of the fridge unused … must fix this as your loaf looks a beauty!!!

    It would be a real crime to kill of Lucretia, so jolly glad to see her back on form.

    Alas, I had to leave my sourdough starter to a friend when we moved from Charleston, S.C. to Chicago. I've never started another starter. Now I wish I had. I need to put out an S.O.S. for someone to give me a starter for my starter. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    Perfect for a weekend bacon butty too! This looks fabulous. How did you get the shiny crust? Is this with an egg wash? And how did you stop it from burning?

    @ marmaduke scarlet… no egg wash… just went like that? I do something quite unusual for bread making which is put the bread into a cold oven then switch on… it rises slowly… works for me
