Ah, sourdough starter.  This stuff smells great!

Instead of throwing out the “extra” portion of starter I thought I’d try making some loaves and guess what, they have risen.  I’m preheating the oven as we … er… speak.  These are 100% whole wheat sourdough loaves from whole wheat starter.  

Boy, does sourdough ever take a long time to accomplish, flour all over the place, all that hand kneading.  Haven’t done that in years.  

The first time I ever made bread by hand I ’bout wore myself out just from ten minutes of kneading.  I was a wimp, and I thought I was fit.  Folks, that was almost 20 years ago.

I’m proud to say that, today, I could have kneaded that dough for an hour.  It just wasn’t a thing.  Guess I’m not as outta shape as I thought.  All this “Pioneer” training must be doin’ me some good!  Ma Ingalls, watch out!

Oh, the oven just beeped to let me know it’s ready to bake my sourdough loaves.  See ya later!
