Sourdough Bread-Making Videos Coming Your Way!

If you ever baked a loaf of bread before, you can easily get hooked on everything related to sourdough. I got hooked a while back, and tried to document some of my early failed attempts to make sour dough starter.

Now I generally bake at least one loaf of bread each week, some times more. I have even made an attempt use the sourdough to make a pecan nut-roll (pictured bellow), made sourdough focaccia bread, sourdough pancakes and some other yummy stuff. Unless there is no other way around the recipe, I tend to stay away from commercial yeast.

My wife’s recent video inspired me to make a few videos as well. To start off it my first videos will be related to sourdough bread making.

I plan to being those videos tomorrow. To star off, I will show you how can you make your own sourdough starter. I will follow what I call a “bullet proof sourdough starter recipe“, which I learned form the good folks at Breadtopia.

If you would like to follow along, you will need the following:

• Whole wheat flour. I recommend the King Arthur flour, but any whole wheat flour will do.
• No sugar or unsweetened added pine-apple juice. Look for it in the whole food section of your store. If you can’t find it, just pick can or two of diced pine-apple. Look for the kind that says “no sugar added” or “unsweetened”.
• A plastic container (about 1/2 to 1 quart)

Even if you never backed a loaf of bread before, you might enjoy doing this with me. While sourdough bread tastes great, there is also another aspect that I truly enjoy when working with sourdough- and that is working with nature itself, where nature is actually the true artist.

Enough said! Get your ingredients together and come back tomorrow!
