YUM YUM YUM,,,,, those loooooook delish.
At least here on your thread we don't get View attachment 2804988 for going off topic

There’s a storm on the way from hurricane Henri and I’m juuuust on the outskirts of the major storm path.

Fingers crossed to the electricity staying on. It’s nice to have a backup broody!

I don’t blame you, i dumped my own home made starter as well. It was just... not that good

The one I have right now is from the Carl’s oregon trail started project
http://www.carlsfriends.net/

All you need to do is send them a self addressed envelope with postage, and they will send a starter culture back to you!

Sourdough generally needs about 5 hours for the first rise, then 3 hours or so for the second. So esentially you’re in for a minimum wait time of 8 hours. I usually just toss the dough in the fridge overnight then bake whenever I feel like it the next day

I believe the water used to feed the starter can also affect how vigorous it is. Whole wheat flour will make a tarter bread than white flour...

I feel like I post too frequently on the baking thread

My dough is almost ready! I made some ramen eggs while waiting for the dough to rise. Sleep? what is that?

It’s lock down day! I’ve been doing an overnight shift, and haven’t had much time to helicopter the eggs

Lid is back on for lockdown and added some damp paper towel for humidity...

I’m a little worried I’ll have to leave the eggs unattended for 12 hours at a time

Thank goodness I don’t work thur-fri which are supposed to be the hatch days.







My quail eggs are coming tomorrow and we are having a mini heat wave again. I hope they survive!

One looks like it’s ready for an internal pip

I switched the cover and the towel so I can see inside without opening the lid.



Humidity did good !!!!
