An update: There was NOT too much help suggestions for name of
my Sourdough Starter. Perhaps, I should not even post this...I named
my Sourdough Starter GENESIS. The origin, start of something, comes into being....from the first book of Moses in the old Testament of the
Bible. Origin, creation, be born, give birth, a beginning...thus GENESIS.
The birth of Sourdough Baking for me. Aria

I like it Aria! I decided I only had room for one starter. I kept Eddie.

I love baking!

What do you like to bake Cassie?

I enjoyed that probably way more than I should have

Me too

Nice! I am down to 10 pounds of flour and will need to brave the covid-19 world to get more in a couple of weeks....

I was down to about a half cup flour this morning. I have never been that low.

I am almost decided The Correct Procedure to make a TRUE SOURDOUGH Loaf is NOT for me. Either 2 days for a round small loaf...
or one day with "stretch turn fold", with a 30 min rest and then do 4
of the same waiting 30 minutes between each stretch turn fold. Then
for the final shaping and rise AGAIN and baking. You can do it one day
taking the WHOLE DAY or mix and then stretch and fold next day and
bake. This seems TOO LONG of a time mixing, handling the dough
for that small round crusty loaf. And the final result: a slice fill of HOLES
making it almost impossible to make a sandwich. Is there an easier way?

KAF recipe for sourdough buns only takes 2 1/2 hrs total. I add 1/3 wheat or rye or whatever else I've got a surplus of and I don't bother with the pan on top for a flat top. I just use my hamburger bun pan and make 6 instead of 8. Really easy, no kneading/stretching/handling. Couldn't be simpler.

Penny google whole wheat and blood sugar before you make bread you don’t care for. I have blood sugar issues too and I read somewhere that whole wheat spiked blood sugar faster than white bread. I think you’re already ahead of the game doing sourdough. But you can check it out and decide. It doesn’t make sense that it would, and there are other reasons to use whole wheat I suppose. I don’t much care for it either, haha!

I've read that sourdough whole wheat and/or rye is the best for not spiking your blood sugar. I also have to watch the impact on my blood sugar. But really, it's different for everyone. You pretty much have to test your blood sugar after having something new and see how it affects you. Plus, there are so many other factors, that you can eat the same thing on different days and get different results. It can be very confusing and frustrating.
