Set up for one of David Carter’s ever-useful sourdough Q & As and demos this evening. We’ll never forget @breadmatters reminding us in the early days that our starter was “not a person that was in danger of being killed.”

Watch the dough, not the clock. The wetter the better. Think they came from @RichardBertinet and @BreadMatters, respectively. #RealBread

For any folks missing my #LifeCommentary silliness, here's a bit you may not have found. I did it for my mates in return for their amazing veg stock which I use loads.
They went on a mission to make stock that's actually veg, not just loads of salt. Maybe buy some and see 🙂

We have been doing this for years now, and often don’t use a recipe but if you are looking for a book @BreadMatters is the best in my view. @scotlandbread is also worth a follow. 3/3
No problem @albion168. You'll find the answer in here: breadmatters.com/sourdough-w… Good baking!

For those interested in #sourdough #bread, I recommend Bread Matters, winner of Best Food Book 2006, by @BreadMatters Andrew Whitley. Also his book, Do Sourdough. @SharonFrazierNY @laura_t_nyc @ElectionMargie #makingbreadislikemakinglove #COVID19 #StayAtHome
Sourdough bread seems to be all the rage now. I have been making this for years. Wheat, rye, spelt, arkatena (chickpea flour). Pictured is French Country Bread ala Andrew Whitley, author of Bread Matters.… instagram.com/p/B-Zo7O9Bw-i/…
Flour shortage? In WW2, white was banned (1942-53), National Wheatmeal was subsidised, health of the poorest improved. A small mill in Scotland now doing something similar. My blog here: bit.ly/nationalflour
