Thanks to everyone for the links re: the starter. I used to make sour dough bread every week, and found keeping the starter going was very simple really....remove- add- stir......and I made wonderful coffee cake rings with it as well as the bread. My family loved it and I often gave the glazed coffee cakes to neighbors at the holidays. If you have a curiosity about trying this....do not hesitate......it is very easy to keep the starter going.....and really yummy bread! Sorry pj...should have waited till Sunday to send this!!

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".
