Hello Bakers

At last I found my way back.

A question.
I've taken out my sourdough out too feed and I've wanted to bake a loaf but the sourdough isn't bubbling. It's smells good. Should I just leave some out enough for a loaf and put the rest back in the fridge or leave it bubble again? .

Penny answered well! If there is plenty of space in the jar, you can give the starter 1\4 C of water and flour to perk it up.

Pull out a quarter of the sourdough then feed it that will bubble

I had too come offline so missed this answer, thank you

I used the sourdough then added a little flour and put it into the fridge. It smells really strong I was desperate for a loaf and as I was woken up again during the early hours this time I got out of bed too start the process.

It's strange it's not bubbling but it seems to be alive.

I am learning that sourdough is something you start and take on faith for awhile. My GF starter had a very... strange... sour odor for a few days. I wondered if I'd done something wrong, or if it was because it was GF. It smells much more like I thought it should now, a week in.

Good morning bakers

I'm about to get my loaf out in ten minutes. I hope it's ok

I used my rye sourdough with white flour 200g wholemeal 300g salt honey and yoghurt. I was told the yogurt helps in keeping it a little softer

I've left my ingredients on this loaf but forgot to add that I also used a couple of drops of iodine. I really enjoyed this bread with a little butter

NEVER heard of anyone adding iodine? Ok...why?
to add color? Healthy? Inquiring mind wants to
know? Aria

If you want a soft outside rub butter over it as it comes from the oven
