Hello everyone,
Just a few lines to say thank you for sharing your knowledge on this great site and to introduce myself.
My name is Kris I'm 33 and I hail from Essex, England.
I have recently rediscovered the glory of bread baking after a few years suffering 'mass-produced'. I have again fallen in love & become addicted to the feel of the dough the relaxing rhythm of kneading and the sheer excitement of waiting for the first taste of the home-made loaf.
I'm a bit out of practice but am pleased with my first effort, although I have a lot of room for improvement which gives me the perfect excuse to bake under the guise of 'practice'.
I hope to give sourdough a real go this time round as I never really experimented with it before and am currently cultivating my starter fondly known as 'Susie'. I'm sure as I explore the sourdough experience I will find your knowledge invaluable.
I look forward to getting to know you all and your breads and learning.
Cheerio for now,
Kris
Happy baking with so many others from the UK!
Welcome Kris!
What a nice warm welcome, cheers guys! :)
And greetings from the Interior of Alaska! I love seeing the breads and hearing from bread bakers the world over on this site. I also keep a sourdough starter going all the time, but I'd never thought to give it a name! Thanks for passing on the idea, I will do it!
Wow Alaska, it's great meeting fellow bakers from so far afield. Be sure to let me know what you name your starter.
I look forward to seeing some of the amazing breads you to-be-named starter makes.
cheerio for now,

Hi dabrown, pleased to meet you. :)
I have named my starter Bubbles. She is currently sitting in the fridge.
What a cool name. Hope you and bubbles make lots of tasty bread together. Susie is coming along now and is almost ready for the first loaf.
Warm regards,
Kris
