Making duck noodle soup today from the remains of the duck. Made the duck stock and accidentally left the duck remains in the water overnight.

Oops.

Actually, it turned out to be a VERY flavorful broth.

Make sure to cover the bowl with plastic wrap

Why plastic wrap?

Why plastic wrap?

So it doesn’t dry out?

So it doesn’t dry out?

That's likely. I was using a damp towel.

Sourdough often rises more than an hour. It needs better covering during the longer time to hold in moisture.

Some use a shower cap since they can be used again.

I'm learning as I go but I have learned much. Who knew fermenting chicken feed would help with sourdough? It has helped me get a feel for consistency if that makes sense. Without additional yeast it definitely requires patience; I can see the benefit of having a dedicated way to proof if baking daily. I did some reading about sourdough and while I'm not prepared to part with my favorite yeast bread recipe yet, who knows?
