The bread was soooo moist! I made a chicken salad sandwich, and the bread didn’t even try to crack.

… this concludes my brainless posts for a while. Thank you for your patience.

I personally find the bread holds the shape better after resting in the refrigerator, and also, allowing the dough to undergo longer fermentation has several significant effects on the bread's characteristics, including enhanced flavor and aroma, a stronger gluten structure, improved nutritional profile and digestibility, as well as an extended shelf life.

That was my experience as well, that the dough held its shape nicely in the cast-iron cooker, which is flat. Thank you so much.

In fact, here it is:

It probably needed more time in the fridgenator, but it was Friday and I needed to get it baked before sundown. It's not bad. I put egg wash on it to brown it.

Since my new starter wasn't quite ready on Thursday, I baked some pumpkin scones as a consolation.

This morning I made my first ever sourdough waffles with my 1 week-ish new starter. The flavor was phenomenal!! The men at home loved them too.
I cut up some strawberries to go with them but ended up eating the waffles plain since they were so yummy.

Have you ever tried Irish Soda Bread.???
It is not really a sandwich style bread,,, but great with dinner. Now I just want to make some,,, after mentioning it.

No, do I find it in the recipe collection, if it is easy to make, I will try it, cos right now I haven’t got a lot of time left
i just found it, but…it needs eggs, since I have given my chickens to a friend while I get my hips replaced , I no longer have any eggs, and I refuse to buy regular eggs or else my family might say, what do we need chickens for, if we can still buy eggs

I just checked, and none in the index. Grabbed this one from Allrecipes website.

Here is an easy display of recipe I snapped.

I know it does call for buttermilk. If you don't have any on hand,,, I think you can substitute with regular milk,,, and use 1 Tbs + 1 Tsp BAKING POWDER instead.
Baking soda needs an acid to work. Baking powder already has an acidifier in it. I think Cream of Tarter may be the active ingredient in Baking powder.
