I've figured out what sourdough and bread really are...
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and here's what I've come up with:
Sourdough: A device made from flour and water used for cultivating natural yeast.
Bread: A balloon like device made from usually wheat flour and water used for capturing "yeast farts".
So based on this definition, bread is a "Yeast Fart Balloon".

9/5/10 - 5/10/20 Pain Au Levain and Walnut Raisin Bread
Hi All,
Just wanted to share with you my bake from Monday, 9/5/10... I had some friends in from San Francisco, who have never had my bread, so I wanted to make them something special to take home with them after brunch...
Here is a pain au levain, that I will call my 5/10/20 pain au levain... It was inspired by JT's 85x3 bread that Farine blogged about here: http://www.farine-mc.com/2010/04/jts-85x3.html
9/3/10 - Is it a Meteorite or a Cow Pattie?
This experiment was inspired by Farine's post on her blog about the Meteorite... http://www.farine-mc.com/2010/07/meteorite.html
No process pics or anything as I probably screwed this thing up totally along the way... This dough is "impossibly" wet... I even decreased the hyration to 95%... It's like trying to bake poolish...
So here's the question...
Is it a meteorite or a cow pattie? You be the judge...
