During the summer, the farmers market happens here. I gather someone must bake during the market. Neat.On Thursday of last week, I made pizza dough using my 100% hydration sourdough starter. I let it ferment at room temperature for a few hours before putting it in the fridge for 3 days to ferment. After the long wait, I am happy to say the pizza turned out great. I found a great site on the web for pizza dough run by a serious home pizza-maker. Its got a lot of great information about Neapolitan style pizza, not all of which I followed. (i.e.
Since I have shared some successes on this site, I thought I would share a not so good outcome. Today I was baking sourdough loaves for out-of-town visitors to take back to their home in Madison Wisconsin tomorrow. I decided to make them two loaves of BBA sourdough with pecans and some whole wheat and rye flours. So I scaled up my recipe to make 3 loaves, so I could taste the result before I gave the loaves to them.

You can buy sourdough starters online or you can get some free from Friends of Carl
