You failed to say where you bought the "starter". Please say where.

That's what I did, because it's a lot easier than trying to capture your own.

Be glad to, just didn't want to send a long list if no one was interested.   You can get a variety of sourdoughs from Sourdoughs International   http://www.sourdo.com/     They also have a great sourdough book. I purchased several of their sourdoughs over the years and they "woke up" just great. There are descriptions of the flavors - depends on how sour you want the sourdough. A warning - I found the Russian one very hard to work with although the mild flavor was very nice. It rises so fast that it deflates before you are ready. I think it's probably better for pancakes or something like that. Some of these starters are really long lived. I used to keep around six jars of starters in my fridge. And they'd be fine for weeks, or months, if not used. I've still got the Parisian one right now - my only survivor after I was put on a no starch diet and didn't make much bread for the past year and a half. I haven't fed it in several months and it's still fine. (Not that I'd recommend that.) This is a good reminder to get the poor thing out and feed it before it dies or goes bad.   Also, King Arthur Flour has a sourdough I really liked - made from various New England starters. The taste was wonderful but I found it was a bit hard to keep alive. You need to bake frequently or at least feed it frequently.    http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/classic-fresh-sourdough-starter-1-oz    KA has lots of books, ingredients and supplies for making sourdough bread.   And last, but definitely not least, there was a gentleman named Carl who sent his family's Oregon Trail sourdough to anyone that asked via a SASE. Now days "Carl's Friends" keep his tradition alive. So you can still get free starter if you send a SASE to the address on the website.    http://carlsfriends.net/  --- On Mon, 11/8/10, Grace Upshaw <[email protected]> wrote: From: Grace Upshaw <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Sunday Rockin' and Sour Dough Bread Starter To: [email protected] Date: Monday, November 8, 2010, 11:09 AM You failed to say where you bought the "starter".
