@sinlesssourdough@gmail.com Tried a Dutch baby; the outside was fabulous, but the eggs separated. I blended the sourdough starter with the milk. Should I have blended everything together and put it immediately into my pan? My pan was very hot, and the butter was sizzling when I added my batter.

My starter doesn’t double in size like Slomo’s. It’s more like elastic when I feed it, but it doesn’t rise. I feed it 1 tablespoon of oat fiber and vital wheat gluten, and 2 to 4 tablespoons of water. It’s at about 74 degrees. I still make good bread and other things. Am I worrying too much? Slomo has really set the bar high for my…

Nancy if you keep feeding HM when she is at the top of the jar she will burst above the rim like Slomo. You have probably just used her when she hits the tip. That extra feeding or 2 takes her to the sky! It’s not necessary but it’s cool to experience!

They never rise; they stay the same after feeding. Maybe they rise a tiny bit over the elastic, but they never double or even rise an inch. But I still bake with them. The bread tastes good, and I even made crackers with just the starter, butter, and salt. They were so good; the first batch disappeared in minutes! I had to make a second one, lo

I don’t know about you, but everyone who tastes my bread, regardless of the flour or fermentation time, loves it and leaves with half a loaf… So I always make 2 at a time. I also used my slicer to cut slices of the same thickness, it works great

Nancy that’s awesome. I have found the same. I give my practice loaves to the homeless and they love them. And I make bagels for my hair dresser’s boys who play hockey and love that the “sourdough” breaks down protein so the body better utilizes it! You’re an incredible “baker!”

I gave the bagel recipe a try today. They turned out huge, so next time I’ll make 10 bagels instead of 8.

Nancy they look beautiful! Yes the are “Montreal-style” bagels which means they are extra large, but you can make as many as you like. They turned out great!!!

Me again For the preferment, is it preferable to use the starter when you have just fed it, right before feeding it, or does it not matter?
-
It doesn’t matter as you are adding the starter to a cup of flour LOADED with starch, protein, carbs, etc. It’s a cup of FOOD! for the starter. If you leave the preferment on the counter for 48 hours you’ll see that it starts behaving like a traditional starter. It doubles in size and becomes really fluffy!
