I think I have a pretty good starter going - have been feeding one somebody gave me. So now if I'd just like to make a loaf of sourdough bread - say based on 3 (391 gr) cups of flour - how much starter is to be used?
I know there are a million recipes out there - I have some good AP flour and would like to make something simple to 'give it a go'.
Hi Alan! I strongly recommend you start with a know good formula and method. SD bread can be somewhat challenging and a bread with a great track record makes the most sense, IMO.
If you are open to this, I have a couple of tried and true suggestions for your consideration.
If you decide to bake one of these, or any other, I will be happy to calculate the ingredient weights if you choose to use a certain amount of flour or want a dough of a particular size.
HTH,
Danny
I followed your link to the 123 details. Looks perfect! One point of confusion: the starter I have was mature when I got it and I’ve been feeding it 50 gr flour, 50 gt water, and a smidge of honey. At 4:30 today it has pretty much doubled and it seems like it should be ready for use.
in the recipe it has you taking a small portion and feeding/growing it even more! If I have (IMHO) a starter recently fed and sat for a number of hours- couldn’t I use that directly? If so can I proceed with 100gr of my starter?
Absolutely!
Will give that a go this eve - have some King Arthur AP and see how it goes!
