Sour dough bread-pullman pan

 

Sourdough Bread for Pullman Pan (13”x4”x4”)

I followed these two websites and combined them for the scraping method idea https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/7/5/sourdough-loaf-for-beginners for the bread recipe https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2014/01/sourdough-bread-a-beginners-guide/

 

Day 1 morning (Day 1 evening)
Feed scrapings jar: 125g warm water and 125g flour.  Add water and flour in a 1:1 ration
Stir, mark side of jar so you can tell how much it grew.
Sit in a warm place and let it get happy till it doubles in size.

Day 1 evening (Day 2 morning)
Check starter.  If unhappy feed again and check in morning. If happy make dough.

My mom and I have made a lot of sourdough bread since January and this is the recipe that we have settled on.  It is easy and works for my family.  I know that it doesn’t necessarily follow some of the other recipes out there, but it works for us.
