Starter Amount
This is very confusing. All of the literature I can find on making a basic
loaf of sourdough bread is so different on this, king arthur flour says to use a 1/4 teaspoon of starter. Mr O'Shaughnessey says a tablespoon. Some of the web recipes say as much as two cups!!!! My schedule is such that a 24 hour (per Shaughnessy again) sponge development fits nicely, and I found a nice warm place in my basement (I have a steam boiler, and it keeps it nice around 75 to 80 degrees down there all winter). I dont understand why there is so much difference in recipes that apparently make the same amount of bread. HELP! |
