Colleeen, You do no "stretch, pull, fold"? And what is the texture?
Holes, chewy, hard crust". I am sure you have seen the round loaves
a lot on U Tube. Would like to see a photo of your made Bread and
the texture. I have been working with Sourdough since Ron gave me
the starter 2016. And always looking for tips. Thanks for sharing, Aria

I've tried many recipes all the long recipes the round loafs long loaves so many recipes .
But my husband wanted a sour dough that had a soft crust and less holes something he could make a sandwich on.
So I experimented and made it like I would a white bread and it worked...just a lot longer rising time cause of the natural yeast of course.
I used the temp and time out of my joy of cooking book cause the crust with that white bread recipe was the one I was looking for.
I think I have less holes because I don't stretch and pull...but I'm not sure.
The bread comes out not doughy.
Kind of dense but not in a bad way just like a sour dough way.
But way less hard than the circle loaves I'm made in the past

I will brush butter on my sourdough after baking do it with all my breads we prefer it soft

Ok here are the crumpets I made from Penny’s starter. I used the KA flour recipe. I don’t have any crumpet rings but this is what I did have.

Well you told me to make crumpets so there’s the dadgum crumpets! It was a great suggestion! Fun and so easy! And of course the sourdough wasn’t wasted. I tried one of the round ones and it did have a sour tang but a little undercooked. I reckon tomorrow morning we’ll throw them in the toaster. I was thinking more of English muffin and they said no we’re more pancake!

Here are my, fresh from the oven, KAF Sourdough Buns. I made them with half AP flour and whole wheat. I scored 3 bags of whole wheat today from Kroger! I put one of everything they showed as having in my basket and got everything but KAF But, that's okay, I'll make use of what I got until my KA order gets here.

Yeah crumpets! Tasty little buggers aren't they? They do make a pretty good pancake.
