It must be a new season, because this morning my sourdough starter whispered to me. I dutifully fed it, setting aside the discard for a batch of homemade crackers. Although my starter isn’t new, it’s still without a name.
Perhaps it’s time to address that gap. OOH !!! I just discovered a sourdough name generator. Lavern Surely Doughry will certainly help my bread production through the winter, and I look forward to getting to know her.
This is amazing! And scary. I was simultaneously making bread and texting with Liv and Bobby about AI. I know that my computer is listening to me, but is it also picking up on the yeasty tang in the air?
Today’s bake is not sourdough, but is no-knead, which, given the effect arthritis has on my hands, is welcome.
After a couple of hours at room temperature, the dough has risen a lot.
I’m hoping for a bread as gorgeous as this one I made last year.
No-knead bread can be perfect. Lavern and I will not be chasing perfection, but I predict we will have a lot of fun over the next few months.
