sourdough

The Basics By S. John Ross
Sourdough bread is bread made without added yeast. By making a "starter" in which wild yeast can grow, the sourdough baker can raise bread naturally, as mankind did for thousands and thousands of years before a packet of yeast was an available convenience at the local market. Not all sourdough is sour-tasting; Amish Friendship Bread and other types of live-yeast breads are also sourdough.
To become a sourdough baker, all you need are some basic ingredients (flour, water, salt, and sugar), some basic tools (a mixing bowl, an oven, and a baking sheet), and a basic interest. This page is for the novice sourdough baker, but assumes that the reader is familiar with regular yeast-based baking. If you can make bread, you can make sourdough bread.
There are only a few simple steps to becoming a sourdough baker. First, you must create a starter: This is a bubbly batter that you keep in your fridge. The starter is mixed into a dough, and it causes the bread to rise. Bake and serve. Yum!
Creating Your Starter
The novel thing about sourdough baking is that it requires that you keep something alive in your fridge. I think of my starter as a pet, kept and fed so that Sandra and I will have all the bread we need. Sourdough "starter" is a batter of flour and water, filled with living yeast and bacteria. The yeast and bacteria form a stable symbiotic relationship, and (as long as you keep the starter fed) can live for centuries, a thriving colony of microorganisms. To make sourdough bread, you blend the starter with some flour and make dough. The yeast propogates, and leavens your bread. This is how you make your starter:
Select a container that your "pet" will live in. A wide-mouthed glass jar is best. I use a glass jar with a rubber and wireframe seal; you can find these for $2-$4 in any antique or junk shop. A small crock with a loose lid is also great; these can be bought in cheap sets for serving soup. You can also use a rubbermaid or tupperware container. I've begun starters using the plastic containers that take-out Chinese soup comes in, and then transferred them to jars later! A wide-mouthed mayonnaise or pickle jar will also do just fine. Metallic containers are a bad idea; some of them are reactive and can ruin your starter (for the same reason, avoid using metal utensils to stir your starter).
Blend a cup of warm water and a cup of flour, and pour it into the jar. That's the whole recipe! I use plain, unbleached bread flour most of the time, but I've had good results with all-purpose and whole-wheat flour, too. If you want, you can add a little commercial yeast to a starter to "boost" it. If you do this, sourdough snobs will look down their nose at you - but who cares about snobs? I personally find that (at least here where I live) no yeast "boost" is necessary, and I can make "real" sourdough with no trouble. But if you are having trouble, go ahead and cheat. I won't tell. Note that starter made with commercial yeast often produces a bread with less distinctive sour flavor than the real thing.
Every 24 Hours, Feed the Starter. You should keep the starter in a warm place; 70-80 degrees Farenheit is perfect. This allows the yeast already present in the flour (and in the air) to grow rapidly. Temperatures hotter than 100 degrees or so will kill it. You can take comfort from the fact that almost nothing else will do so. The way you feed the starter is to (A) throw away half of it and then (B) add a half-cup of flour and a half-cup of water. Do this every 24 hours. Within three or four days (it can take longer, a week or more, and it can happen more quickly) you should start getting lots of bubbles throughought, and a pleasant sour or beery smell. The starter may start to puff up, too. This is good. Here's the gist: When your starter develops a bubbly froth, it is done. You have succeeded. If this sounds brain-dead simple, that's because it is. People who didn't believe the Earth was round did this for millenia.
Refrigerate the Starter. Keep the starter in your fridge, with a lid on it. Allow a little breathing space in the lid. If you're using a mayo or pickle jar, punch a hole in the lid with a nail, that kind of thing. Once the starter is chilled, it needs to be fed only once a week. Realistically, you can get away with less; it's important to remember that your starter is a colony of life-forms that are almost impossible to kill (except with extreme heat). Even starving them is difficult.
Care and Feeding: Hooch
Aside from weekly feeding, the only other thing you need to worry about is hooch. Hooch is a layer of watery liquid (often dark) that contains alchohol. It smells a bit like beer, because it is a bit like beer - but don't drink it! Hooch builds up in your starter, especially in the fridge. Just pour it off or stir it back in. It doesn't hurt anything. If your starter is looking dry, stir it back in. If your starter is plenty wet, pour it off. Just remember that hooch is nothing to worry about!
Sourdough Baking Step One: Proofing the Sponge
Several hours before you plan to make your dough (recipe below), you need to make a sponge. A "sponge" is just another word for a bowl of warm, fermented batter. This is how you make your sponge.
Take your starter out of the fridge. Pour it into a large glass or plastic bowl. Meanwhile, wash the jar and dry it. You may also wish to pour boiling water over it, since you don't want other things growing in there with your pet!
Add a cup of warm water and a cup of flour to the bowl. Stir well, and set it in a warm place for several hours. This is called "proofing," another word for fermenting. Sourdough bakers have their own language; use it to impress your friends ;)
Watch for Froth and and Sniff. When your sponge is bubbly and has a white froth, and it smells a little sour, it is ready. The longer you let the sponge sit, the more sour flavor you will get.
The proofing-time varies. Some starters can proof up to frothiness in an hour or two. Some take 6-8 hours, or even longer. Just experiment and see how long yours takes. If you're going to bake in the morning, set your sponge out to proof overnight.
Sourdough Baking Step Two: The Actual Recipe
Of course, there are a lot of recipes for sourdough bread. There are also recipes for sourdough rolls, sourdough pancakes, sourdough pretzels, sourdough bagels, and probably sourdough saltines for all I know. This is the basic recipe I use, though, and it's simple and makes a fine bread. You'll need the following:
2 Cups of sponge (proofed starter)
3 Cups of unbleached flour
2 tablespoons of olive oil or softened margarine
4 teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
First, let's talk about leftover sponge. You should have some. The leftover sponge is your starter for next time: Put it into the jar, and give it a fresh feed of a half-cup each of flour and warm water. Keep it in the fridge as above; you'll have starter again next time.
Now, for the recipe: To the sponge, add the sugar, salt, and oil (the oil is optional - you can use softened butter instead, or no oil at all). Mix well, then knead in the flour a half-cup at a time. Knead in enough flour to make a good, flexible bread dough. You can do this with an electric mixer, a bread machine on "dough cycle," or a food processor. You can also do it with a big bowl and your bare hands.
Keep in mind that flour amounts are approximate; flour varies in absorbency, and your sponge can vary in wetness. Use your judgement; treat it like ordinary white or french bread dough. Trust your hands and eyes more than the recipe, always.
Let the dough rise in a warm place, in a bowl covered loosely with a towel (if you're using a bread machine's dough cycle, let it rise in the machine). Note that sourdough rises more slowly than yeast bread; my starter takes about an hour or so, but some starters take much longer. Let the dough double in bulk, just like yeast-bread dough. When a finger poked into the top of the dough creates a pit that doesn't "heal" (spring back), you've got a risen dough.
Punch the dough down and knead it a little more. Make a loaf and place it on a baking sheet (lightly greased or sprinkled with cornmeal). Slit the top if you like, and cover the loaf with a paper towel and place it in a warm place to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
Place the pan with the loaf in your oven, and then turn your oven to 350o Farenheit and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes. Do not preheat the oven. The loaf is done when the crust is brown and the bottom sounds hollow when thumped with a wooden spoon. Turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack or a towel and let it cool for an hour before slicing.
And that's that. If you double the recipe for two big two-pound loaves of bread, the total price tag will be less than a dollar.

guarding the president

This photo released by the White House Friday shows President Barack Obama greeting Michaele and Tareq Salahi, right, at a State Dinner hosted by Obama for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the White House in Washington Tuesday. The Secret Service is looking into its own security procedures after determining that the uninvited Virginia couple managed to slip into the dinner.

It seems the people who guard the president are not doing their job some people want to see this couple in prison but I think they deserve an award for pointing out how the secret service is not doing their job properly.

Cherokee Indian.

Sister posed the question as to why people who seek Indian ancestors usually claim Cherokee Indians and I have been thinking as to why this would be.
I found the Cherokee Indians were situated in Virginia and as they were forced out they moved to south Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia Kentucky, and Arkansas. In fact they moved along the Appalachian trail as did the white English speaking settlers in their settling the the new lands so where ever the white man went there were the Cherokee Indians in their path.
The Cherokee Indians were removed by President Jackson to Oklahoma on the infamous trail of tears. I suppose this is why the Cherokee are in our memory playing apart in settling this part of the country and because those who had ancestors from these areas would have a folklore handed down in their family stories of the Cherokee Indians.
When the English speaking people began to move across the western states they had lived among the Cherokee Indians for several generations in war and peace. so as to why the Cherokee Indians are named as ancestors they are the know Indians therefore if you had a Indian in your family line you would think of the Cherokee.

black sunday

I wonder about people that have enough money that they can camp out side a store to be first in line to give them money.

You should give some serous thought that if a store can sell something on sale for 50 dollars when it normal cost 60 dollars they could sell at the lower price all the time.

needless to say I didn't go shopping Friday. I have not had any money except to pay bills and buy food since I retired. I saw that the number of older adults going into the free food lines has increased by 80%. I am not there yet.

Fleta has been talking about lost relatives and that made me think of a story grandma told me.

The story was short and sweet. She said one of my great uncles took a squirrel dog and a rifle started off on foot to the gold Fields in California. We never heard from him again.

Now the weather, it is 58 degrees here this morning.

I was suspicious about the Tiger Woods car accident and his wife rescuing him with a golf club. We all know Tiger has alstar and they will unlock his doors saw that on advertisement for alstar when he locked his keys in the car, so maybe his wife was trying to knock his cheating ass off.

saturday

We have a hard wind here but the sun is shinning. I went to feed the chickens and they were singing the egg song.

chickens

The sun is shining today in the ozarks and the chickens are singing, I got 17 eggs yesterday.

Dana Perino

The x Bush person Dana Perion says Obama should call The fort Hood killing terrorist attack and then went on to state We had no terrorist attacks under Bush presidency. When corrected about the 9/11 attract under Bush she said she meant Bush's 2nd term. She was on the Fox news channel when she stepped in the dodo.
If the facts don't fit just lie! maybe no one will notice.
Dana Perino was Bush's press Secretary after Tony Snow had to step down.

death comes knocking

There lived a young man in our town that was forever young. he never really grew up, he remained a young man and I thought he was the age of my sons. Ronnie died yesterday and I was surprised to learn he was 62 years old.
Some people just never grow up for what ever reason.

dinner

Ever one is posting about how to cook. I cook a turkey this way, I let it thaw, dig out the neck, liver and gizzard then I rub the turkey with salt. I buy browning bags then I put the turkey in the bag and cut two slits in the bag cooking the turkey until the pop up button pops. I cook dressing in a separate pan because the turkey will not hold enough dressing for my family.

My dressing is made like mamas. I boil the giblets and I crumble the corn bread that I saved a week ago and a few biscuits. I cut up a onion or two and add to the bread crumbs. I dump sage and black pepper on the bread mixing well and then pour on the broth from the giblets and hope for the best.

I make my pumpkin pies from the receipt on the can. I have always made my pies that way and my children think they are the best.

This year our bread were freezer rolls from the store. Sammy took them out of the bag adding a dab of butter to each one and let them rise until double.

I don't use recipes I just cook and hope for the best.

3 old men

I had 3 old men come for dinner today and they were all my sons.

neighbors

The holidays have started around here. The neighbor was placed in a police car and hauled off to jail last night. My son has been really friendly with this guy even tho' I have told him the neighbor is a drunk and trouble.

He was arrested for domestic abuse, the reason we know he came over here and waited for the cops. Sammy set out on the porch and talked to him until the cops arrived. The law pulled into our yard so I guess everyone thinks I called the law on Sammy.

I got 22 eggs yesterday!

I have my punkin' pies in the oven and the turkey is setting in the sink to thaw. I have a ham and a turkey to cook, that is to much food but we will have food for several days. All of my children will be here for dinner tomorrow.

I am cooking 4 punkin' pies, One for Kelly to eat here and one for him to take home. the other two are for ever one else.

Bobby Knight is going to have surgery today for cancer. Frankie Powell took him to Springfield yesterday. I called and told Bob, Clayton was free to take him but Frankie had it covered.

fat cats

I have always thought that Al Gore and his crusade about global warming was a farce and he was just a fat cat trying to get rich but I did buy into the theory that global warming was true.

Now it is reported that the people pushing this crusade have been changing the data and lying their ass off. In fact the earth is cooling not warming up and the people in the know were hiding the fact to push their own agenda. Seems there were lots of cats getting fat!

suffer the little children

This is Fleta's granddaughter, a beautiful little girl. This Arkansas cop better not get near her. Some people need to have an attitude adjustment and I don't mean a 10 year old.
NOVEMBER 18--An Arkansas cop tasered an unruly 10-year-old girl after her mother called police to report that the child was crying, screaming, and refusing to go to bed. The tased girl, Kiara Medlock, is about 65 pounds and 4' 6", according to her father. Anthony Medlock, a truck driver who does not live with the fifth grader and her mother, provided TSG with a recent photo of his daughter, which can be seen at right. According to the below Ozark Police Department report, when Officer Dustin Bradshaw arrived at the residence last Thursday, he found the girl "screaming, kicking, and resisting every time her mother tried to touch her." Bradshaw added that, "Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to." After Kiara continued to refuse her mother's instructions, the cop concluded that "there was not going to be a peaceful resolution of the issue." Bradshaw warned the girl that she was "going to jail," but the child continued kicking and crying and resisted his attempt to handcuff her. During the tussle, Kiara "struck me with her legs and feet in the groin, reported Bradshaw, who countered with a brief "stun to her back" with his Taser. The child, not surprisingly, "immediately stopped resisting and was placed into handcuffs. She would not walk on her own and I had to carry her to my police car." Kiara was then transported to a youth shelter .OZARK ARKANSAS

monday

Researchers have found thousands of new specs in the ocean this is one it is a sea cucumber. what a beautiful creation. on the other hand...On the other hand the Catholic church has refused to let Patrick Kennedy have communion because of his public stance on abortion.

The sun is shining as I fead my birds and they were singing the egg song. Betty has a new pen for her chicks I wish I had it at my house. It looked very sturdy.

sunday

It was quite this morning with only one rooster to wake the sun.
17 eggs this day.
I have lots of books to read so not much time to blog.

Tamales

My big rooster is gone I threw him out of the pen this morning because he made a fight at me. the neighbor took him and sold him to the Mexicans down the hill. I am sure he is tamales now.
his weight was at least 12 pounds.

goverment bail out office please.

This is a fellow that has a car dealer ship in Colorado. He has put up this sign about Obama. If I were him I would not be counting on my money from the cash for clunker coming in soon.

what are you reading?

This is the prettiest child there is around I think.

I got 17 eggs day before yesterday that was a bonanza.

I canceled all my trips to Peru. I saw they were killing people there for their fat.

seems they have a ready market in the cosmetic trade. Get that lip stick off your face you are wearing fat.

Have you ever noticed some one will coin a Fraze and everyone uses it.

Obama said in one of his speeches "give a shout out to___________!" now ever where you look they are giving a shout for someone.

I saw some poor fellow had died because he weigh 800 pounds and couldn't walk, he didn't have insurance. I guess that was a argument for the health bill but some how I thought it was a dud.

The library got in my order for Jonathan Kellerman books. I have 6 new to me books to read, I already finished one and started on the second. I might get my fill of Kellerman.

You might hear of my death soon, I have felt that I would die soon for 2 years but of late I have felt like I might live a long time so watch the obits for me. I have been feeling very well but I fine I have little endurance but I am grateful that I can still read and I am grateful to our local library and the ladies that work there.

Funeral

Hamid Karzai, at center above with VPs Mohammad Fahim, left, and Karim Khalili, seeks to balance international demands while appeasing political allies. The swearing in of Afghan president.Does anyone besides me think this looks like a funeral? probably ours.
They said the election was crooked but the 2nd man dropped out so they just went along with the election. Just call the 2nd man Al as in Gore.

tradio on the radio

Son listens to a local radio station and every morning they have a program called tradio. people can call in and advertise things they want to sell or things they want to buy.This morning the first call said hello is this me and they said yes. The fellow said I am setting here in the dark with no radio so I didn't know if it was me. Then he said I am looking for someone to make me a small loan till pay day. The host said we don't allow that kind of call! hang up.

sisters

This is how it is Winnie, I really don't care if sister goes down to school and whips the whole bunch and she knows that as for Kris I think she is just sorry and blue because she let her daughter go to stay with grandma and wants to kick someone and it was me. as for me I just grin and think so you should have told your mama no when she ask for your daughter.

HUH?

Brother did better than I would have Patsy. Mom asked me about this and I told her she had to do something or I would. I am still mom even if she is in a different state and what this teacher was doing was unacceptable in any school district in AZ. Mind you I worked as a teacher Patsy for 5 years! No one will tell my daughter he is lying when they were not there and I am well aware of the worthlessness of a substitute that has never taught their own class! Go ahead Patsy, what else do you have to say. My daughter is one thing I don't cow down on!!@!
This is a comment left by diehard scrapper on my blog. she wanted to know what I have to say about her comment. nothing. when you blog you just blog and if someone doesn't like what you say you GULP and go on to the next time someone gets pissed off. I can't figure out what this means"!!@! Die hard is my niece even if she doesn't want you to know.

school

Sister went to school and pinned the ears back of granddaughters teacher. She told me she was going to collar him. This fellow is 30 years old and I am sure he wishes they would pass a law that people in Washington state had to stay in Washington state.
I told sister just to wait until Benjamin got to school and she would have GOOD reasons to go to school.
Poor feller may take take up drinking if he doesn't already.
7 of us went to school and 6 of us got along fine with out paternal inference but when sister went daddy had to go take her home. Sister would like to rule the world.
She said brother, who was a teacher told her how to handle the meeting. Brother is a peace maker but he probably failed this time.

bugs and rain

I would hate to meet this bug, wouldn't you?

rain, mud and cold. I went out and put hay in the chicken pens so they have dry material to walk on.

I went to the library yesterday and got a lot of good books. I got a book by Edna Buchanan and it was a very good book. I will have another bunch of books to order at the library after I get all those Jonathan Kellerman books read I ordered yesterday.

I got 11 eggs yesterday. I saw Clayton in town, he had come in to buy pie pans so he could make punkin' pies. He didn't think he could depend on Fleta to make them. He should have had pie pans. I wonder if Fleta borrowed his to make her pie?

miserable wet weather againmiseable

miserable and cold.

Fleta, pumkin' pie

12 eggs yesterday. I called Fleta and ask if she wanted eggs she wasn't very excited so I am going to take 3 dozen to the library ladies today. They will be pleased until they see the books I want them to order for me.

If anyone is offended by the photos below it is Winnie's fault.

email from cousin Winnie

reason for having a camera phone!

animal house

45 % of right winger want Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket in 2012 and the rest want Dick Cheney!

even the birds are smiling.

shopping

I went to wal-mart yesterday and bought food. I found turkeys for 40 cents a pound. I bought 2. When have you seen meat at this price? Chicken Thighs for 1 dollar a pound. No wander the Tyson works are getting shorted on their hours.

I saw something in the egg department that took my breath away. Brown eggs for 3.75 a dozen. I have 5 dozen in my frig. this morning. I don't know that anyone would be foolish enough to give this price when the white eggs were 2 dollars a dozen but if they would I would be rolling in the dough since my hens laid 12 eggs yesterday. Brown eggs taste just like white eggs, no difference they just have a good sun tan.

I bought something just for me as I was out of reading material and didn't have the strength to go to the library after wal-mart. I got 2 books, author Jonathan Kellerman. I really like his books and found 2 that the library didn't have. Kellerman is well worth reading if you like murder and mayhem books. I will have books for 2 days and Monday when I can visit the library again.

If you want the 40 cent turkeys you had better go shopping today. I am sure they wont last long.

11 eggs

Day before yesterday I got 11 eggs and 8 yesterday. The 2 pens for the chickens is working out well. The chickens are calmer with less squaking and screaming. So far only the red-sex links are laying with the 4 I raised from my flock.

Grave yard rabbit

I find many things on the super high way and I stumbled across this fellow who calls himself "The grave yard rabbit" He was in Green Forest and visited the yocum cemetery and the Glenwood cemetery and took photos.

This grave was in the Glenwood cemetery and I wondered is this one of your relatives Cheryl?

Reading a life long pleasure.

I have read for pleasure ever since I learned to read the printed word and it has afforded me more pleasure than anything else in my life.
I started to school at Sunny Lane while mother, Richard and me went to stay with my Powell grandparents awaiting the birth of my brother.
I noticed that my grandfather read ever evening and I could see that he enjoyed reading and I decided that this was something I wanted to do. The school had a few books that we could take home so I picked out this very pretty book about Peter rabbit to take home. I told grandpa I brought you a book to read and he said give it to me and I will read it to you. We only lived there about 6 weeks and then went back to Denver and there I went to Celo Jackson's class at Denver.
I went to school at Denver 2 years and began to learn to read the Dick and Jane books.
Then Daddy moved us to the the farm on dry creek and we went to school at Coin, Auburn Green was my teacher and that year I got my first hard back reader, it was a book about boys and girls in different lands. I took that reader home and read it from cover to cover the first week-end. In that day we were assigned certain times to study our subjects. We were supposed to read our lesson and I was doing something else. Mr. Green scolded me for not studying my lesson and I told him I had read it already. He ask how much have you read and I said all of the book. He went to the last story in the book which was about Laplanders in the Newfoundland and ask me to tell him what it was about which I did.
When we went to the Douglas school I was in the 4th grade. Mary Teeters was my teacher. She told us she was going to read from a book every day for us. She started reading Tom Sawyer to us that day and I enjoyed the story. Mrs. Teters went back on her word and didn't read to us the next day. I ask her when she was going to read the book, Tom Sawyer again and she said I don't have time here is the book you read it.I told her I couldn't read it she told me just try and if you want to know a word I will tell you. I read that book before the day was over and I have been reading ever since.
I feel very sorry for people who have never known the pleasure of reading.

Sarah Palin

In addition to the suggestion that government officials would consider hastening the death of the infirm or handicapped, she began her remarks with a puzzling commentary on the design of newly minted dollar coins.
Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.
“Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”
She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”
Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency.
But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush. Sarah speaks again for money!
