Cincinnati Sourdough

Toast

So here is what I am considering the "final" version of my Sourdough.  This was my first attempt at really creating something of my own and not relying totally on someone else's formula.  

Bulk starter

Hi guys

im New to sourdough  although I can maintain my starter in the past but now run into a snag. I have about 2.2 # of starter. How do I feed this. I’ve tried replacing one cup starter with 8oz flour and 8 Oz water but the results I get with the action is not near with the action when I was first feeding the starter.   Now it takes forever to ferment and bubbling is weak not as it was. 
what am I doing wrong 

thanks for any help 

Potato bread rolls

My cousin recently shared a few videos of wool roll breads on YouTube. These are really pretty rolls, so I decided to try making them today. 

I made them using my TZ potato bread recipe since I’ve so many left from a 10lbs bag (only $1.87), filled them with Nutella+malted milk powder* for the wool roll bread and meat floss for the remaining few. 

Ciabatta rolls proofing in tubs

Toast

My first post at TFL, blog or otherwise. Long time lurker. My favorite bread is ciabatta and my favorite form is the roll for sandwiches. I was buying the artisan rolls at Costco but wanted lighter, more ciabatta-like rolls. I found that making rolls is a lot harder than making ciabatta slippers, which I was getting pretty good at, thanks to TFL, before switching to rolls.

So I found these little pint size tubs online, 3" square on bottom, 4" square on top, 2 1/2" high, and thought these might work. So far, with 3 bakes, my rolls are more square.

Farmer's Market Set-Up

Hey Everyone,

Question for you.  I was recently asked to participate in a local farmer's market and wanted to ask the community for advice on essential set up materials for my booth.  Outside of a table, a pop-up tent, and a POS are there some must have items you've found that make selling easier?
