A total flop.

Well, I baked the bread. and there is not a whole lot to say. I am not thrilled with the loaves at all. I suppose sometimes I just can't win.

They tasted fine though and we will be finishing them up tomorrow for lunch. It is probably a good thing I have siblings who will help me eat up my bread or it would start piling up fast.

So this evening I refreshed my liquid leaven starter, which is what I do the night before baking. Finally tomorrow  I will get to start baking something using no commercial yeast, which is what I am most excited about to begin with.

                   Here is the starter fed, though it looks a little different because I used buckwheat flour.

After I fed the starter I remembered that next week I will be needing a different starter from the liquid leaven starter I have going right now.  So I started the German Rye sourdough starter. Every day as I feed it I will let you watch the process.

                                                  Here is day one, just rye flour and water.

Now I am going to bed, because it is high time I did.
