I used to pursue an active bread-making hobby about 30 years ago, when I was a young 25 years or so old. I tried sourdough as an ingredient, but did not have much, if any, success back then.
Recently however, to try it all again, I purchased some King Arthur sourdough starter and have since then been having a lot of fun with it making bread, buns and cornbread. It brings a LOT more moist consistency to the finished product than the regular dry old box-recipe cornbread, and it's a lot lighter, more bubbly and well... just plain good!
So! Anyone else out there in C-D cooking land that is experienced with, or trying out, sourdough in their recipes?
We had a mother in the fridge for over ten years in the late 80's and early 90's. Then the kids got older and careers took off. In three years the last one will be off to college and we might start at it again. Since Boudin San Francisco sourdough opened up in town, well you know the story.
I'm just now going out to find some baking rings today, if I can. I will be attempting to make some correctly-sized SD (sourdough) hamburger buns. After all, who actually enjoys those damnably horrid commercial Cisco type buns (the ones nearly every hamburger joint unashamedly serves, even when they claim to have "The best burgers in town!"?
Only those with absolutely no culinary taste or discrimination, that's who!
