@Ann_T - you are far too kind... but thank you. Every time I look at your bakes - like these! - I always say to myself "If only I could consistently produce loaves that look like that!" 😂 

 

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! Keep up the inspiring bakes. 🍞

Thanks Patrick.  Happy Valentine's Day to you as well. 

 

I've only ever used  Amy Scherber's (Amy's Bread) instructions for making my sourdough starter but I have never actually used any of 

her recipes. So today I decided that I would make her Country Sourdough. 

 

 It starts with a Levain so I fed my White Starter again and used 2 oz of the discard to make the Levain. 

The Levain is suppose to double in size in 8 hours. So I figured I wouldn't get around to making the dough until tomorrow morning.

But both the  starter and the Levain had doubled in 5 hours so I am making the dough tonight and will leave it out

on the counter for an early morning bake.
