Okay, it is Monday and I have the day off from my regular job. My boss says I put in too many hours and he is trying to be tight fisted with the owners money. Commendable but not good for my pocket book. So, it is good the I am looking for alternative ways to supplement my income.
I talked to my mother yesterday and we discussed sourdough bread cultures. I was sure that she had made one when I was a child but she said I was mistaken but did say that she had a wonderful recipe for a starter from my Grandmother and that she would be forwarding to me. I can't wait. I'm tempted to try several different recipes to find one that I prefer. One of the blogs I follow, Wild Yeast, has a sourdough starter recipe that uses either pineapple or orange juice as the liquid base. I thought that would produce a very distinct flavor. In a hour I am leaving to go pay rent and go shopping and will pick up some orange juice and some pineapple juice as well as some King Arthur bread flour to do a few trials on the starter. It will take a few days to see if I can culture some wild yeast so maybe by Saturday I will be baking! I am very excited and hope to report that at least one of my sourdough starters started!
