Ok...hot out of oven and definitely much more sour!!!
Idk bout all that hydration though! That was a mess to work with!!! Aby suggestions for when shaping the bread to not get stuck everywhere?!
Does the recipe index have any of yalls sourdough recipes where you give details for the more hydrated bread? Like do you replace the warm water with milk or do you do half n half? Do you warm the milk? Etc. Etc....lol

different types and brands of flour absorb liquid better. If you move to un bleached flour, the dough will be less sticky. Moving to bread flour will make an even less sticky dough at the same hydration level.

It has to do with the percent of protein in the flour. Look for flour with a higher protein level and see how it works for you.

It's the Bulgarian starter that you turned me on to. I ordered it online. It sure tastes GOOD!

I thought so! I do not know why it works differently at your place. As long as it tastes good, it if fine though.

lot's of fun here more adjusting to a new keyboard reach.
not entering extra letters and numbers.

Glad it will be working for you. New computers ALWAYS take
learning time. Have fun...enjoy it.

I'll have some with my tea.

Looks great.

If I'm right I think this is Monkey Bread?

Yes. I am currently attending a Seventh Day Adventist church (very different than my upbringing), so services were today. There’s a lunch each week. My bread was loved, and I was even asked to bring it to a member’s get together tomorrow at his cattle farm.

Yeah, it looked like monkey bread to me, too.

Mine is from 1983, reprint from original in 1930s

I love reprints! You can enjoy the vintage recipes with a newer, sturdier book that will last better than the 50+ year old originals.

I have a reprint of a cookbook from 1957.

There are 454 grams in a pound. 600 grams equals approximately 1 lb. 5 oz.

Not all flour has the same density which is why they use weight instead of volume.

R2Elk, Thank you. I need to see what is happening with my
Google Chrome....I KNEW IT WAS NOT giving me a correct.number.

I feel LAZY today.....I do have a scale. NEED to use it more.

I found using about 5 cups of all purpose flour was sufficient for a bread recipe calling for 600 g.
