I wonder what I should make next with my sourdough starter. I already have plans to bake more bread this weekend, but what else?

 

[leggo PE]

Maybe sourdough brownies?

 

[leggo PE]

Sourdough bagels?

 

[leggo PE]

I think I need to remake the bomb sourdough banana bread I made a few weeks ago. That was SO good.

Did you buy direct from King Arthur? How is it packaged? What is the starter, exactly?

This sounds bomb. Also, I'm super hungry. It's the 3pm slump.

Yes, I did buy directly from them. It comes in a little screw top plastic jar (it's very small), and comes in liquid form (vs. dried like you will find elsewhere). The starter is simply water and flour! You can build it yourself (there are lots of guides available online), but generally, the more mature a starter is, the healthier and more interesting flavor it can provide. I definitely took the easy route in getting KAF's starter. They've had theirs going for a very long time, and I was able to use it for my first bakes within a week, I think.

@leggo PE You would do so well on the frontier.

@squaretaper, just give me a dutch oven and a fire!

None of this crazy Instant Pot mania, that I will soon find myself experimenting with.

 

[leggo PE]

La di da.

EDIT: Topsies!  :bananalama:

I think our central timezone friends have left us.

I'm thinking of getting an enameled cast iron dutch oven. Worth it?

 

[squaretaper LIT AF PE]

Le Creuset is the big name, but I like Lodge's pricing better...

I think so. I have a Staub and love it. It's what I have been using to bake my bread, and I also make awesome soups in it. I haven't yet used it for much else, but I could do some sort of roast in it too, I'm sure.
