  1. Hi Everyone, Jackal was very kind and sent me some of his starter. I'm a fairly novice baker, I've probably baked 20 or 30 loaves of commercial yeast bread. In the past I've never had any success even with commercial starters from Ed Wood or ones that I bought on Ebay. However, the one jackal sent worked great. The first loaf I attempted was pretty bad. I over proofed it in too warm of a temperatue. The dough completely fell apart. On my next try I had much better success. I used the Breadtopia sourdough no-knead recipe. I needed a pretty long proofing time, about 24 hours at 65 to 70 degrees. Then I used a simple method where I put the loaf directly on a baking stone and then cover it with a romertopf lid for 30 minutes and then uncover and bake for 15 more minutes. Here are the results, the bread tasted fantastic. I didnt use any commercial yeast. It had a very nice flavor with just a slight sour aftertaste. Exactly the way I like it. Here is a picture:
