Recently i was talking to my son about getting some starter & having a go at making my own bread. I'd been going to order a starter through a company in South Australia but he said "got a jar i'll get some from work". He is a baker you see. Found said jar which he fills(with permission) & his boss asked him about it & he said why. Boss then said why don't you just take her some ready baked. "No, Mum wants to have a go herself" I think his boss thought i'm a little crazy. :) :) Maybe i am. LOL. I then had to find larger container to transfer the starter into. Luckily i had this in the cupboard.
Yesterday i gave making choc chip sourdough cookies a go
As i was prepping my 2nd loaf my bits & bobs for making sourdough arrived. Good timing as i could use the banneton & the lame for scoring the top.
todays loaf slowly rising, nearly ready to bake. Next loaf i'm going to try olives in.
The lemon tree had a few lemons on it but they weren't really that great. As i only wanted the rinds i a wasn't concerned about the juice or lack of.
I'll leave you with a view out my kitchen window.
The bottle brush is so pretty. The azalea in the bottom corner is the one i thought was going to die. It looks wonderful all covered with flowers. Top left is one of 2 olives. It has olives starting to form but the other doesn't. It's only the 2nd time its fruited since i moved here(both fruited last time). Cross fingers i don't have broken foot this time around & i can harvest them.
Happy Stitching,

Now you've started, you'll be hooked on sourdough :) I haven't tried the cookies yet but I love my discard crackers I make often.
That whisk is a game changer ... happy baking!
I like making crumpets with the discard. I think the secret to success with the sourdough is getting into a routine. Well it is for me.
You’ve make some delicious bread and cookies with the sour dough.
Pretty view from the kitchen window..
Your baking looks delicious, looking forward to seeing how the second loaf turns out. Mmmm, Limoncello! xx
