This is my new pet, Francisco. He's pretty low maintenance. Every day for the next few days, Francisco needs to be fed with flour and water and kept in warm place. He's busy growing and fermenting. In a few days, he will mature to become sourdough starter and can be used to make delicious sourdough bread.
There's something about this time of year and the weather that makes everyone want to play in the kitchen! Francisco doesn't look very appetising yet though.
ReplyDeleteYup, too cold to go out so you might as well make the house smell good and yummy
DeleteOh, I bet he smells heavenly! Husband has kept our starter going for over twenty years. (and the original one we got it from was even older!) Can't wait to see what you bake! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't realize you could keep a starter going that long. I thought it would eventually die out.
