Sourdough

I made sourdough again. 

This time the loaf was huge! 

The recipe I use is from "Sourdough for Lazy People" on You Tube. 

It says to let the dough rise overnight, briefly shape the loaf on a floured surface, put it in the pan, then let it rise for 90 minutes before baking, etc. 

But this time, when I checked it after 90 minutes, the shaped loaf hadn't risen that much. 

So I let it rise longer before baking, for 2-3 hours actually. 

The loaf had filled up the bottom of its pan when I put it in the oven, and of course, it ended up rising even more while baking. 

So the loaf came out larger than ever. 

So from now on, after shaping my loaf, I may adjust my rise time from 90 minutes to anywhere from 2-3 hours before baking. 

Sourdough loaves cost around $8, so this is a wonderful thing to be able to make for myself with just a few cups of flour, some salt, and water.

Amazing!
