@ronott1 it’s official. My starter has been revived. It rose beautifully and quickly in the oven, and rose last night. Has the tangy smell, and is back in business.

That is a very nice looking loaf!

It is very hard to kill sourdough starter. With fall and winter baking, the starter will stay more active. The more you use starter, the better it is.

That looks GREAT! How did you do the crust?

It's really simple, pinched with my thumb and two fingers diagonally, plus the crust recipe gives you a sort of cookie crumbly crust, love it. If you like I can give you the recipe (I use grams though, guess you'd just have to convert it to ounces)

It’s all right. Mathematics is one of my hobbies. I love to convert recipes.

I would love the recipe. My brothers birthday is coming up, and he likes apple pie.

For the crust you'll need
325gr of flour
2 tbsp of sugar
120gr of oil (vegetable oil is fine although if you want a tastier crust use coconut oil)
100-130ml of water (or buttermilk)
1 tsp of vanilla extract

For the filling
400 grams of apple slices (if you like a sour sweet taste use granny smith, but if you don't have them then add some lime juice)
63 grams of sugar
1 1/2 tbsp of flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
A dash of nutmeg

So you just make your pie, brush it with egg wash and sprinkle some cinamon sugar on top and bake at 375 Fahrenheit for about an 1hr - 1hr 20 minutes.

Thanks! Like I said, mathematics is one of my hobbies, so it should be easy to convert to my unit of measurement.

We have a few other people here who use grams. We’ve all had to learn to convert.

Dang... apple pie.

I'm making GF bread in the machine. In about 50 minutes, the house will smell wonderful! About 30 minutes after that, I'll saw off the heels and slather on the butter.

I got a kitchen scale so that I could weigh my chickens' eggs, and I use grams. Ever since I measured the flour for my bread in grams, the bread has turned out much more consistent. The flour is the only thing I measure that way, though. The rest is teaspoons, tablespoons, and cups.

Looks very round!

Or get a scale like Sally and I have that reads in kilograms, grams, pounds & ounces or ounces. I always use grams for breads when the recipe specifies grams or both.

Jared, when you make the conversions, will you post the recipe in American standard, please? That is a BEAUTIFUL pie crust and I'd like to try it too!
