I was talking about sourdough at work and found out my coworker makes sourdough every week. To my surprise, she offered me some of her starter, which I GLADLY took her up on!
I named my starter Sally. It's a working name, but it's what popped into my head when I got it.
My coworker has her recipe in her head, so as she told it to me, I frantically took notes so as to not break her stream of thought but not lose or miss any of the info. She sent me links for the things I need, and those she recommends.
I started the afternoon before with discarding and feeding my starter. Six "stretch and folds" every 30 minutes. Then a bulk rise overnight. And I baked her up around noon today.
Here she is, my first sourdough:
I have a lot left to master. For starters, it was a little soft and scoring it was difficult. Also, apparently my starter was supposed to float but it didn't...but regardless, it tasted delicious! And I'm going to bake another loaf this coming week. I think it's too adventurous for such a beginner, but I may even try to attempt sourdough rolls for Thanksgiving?
