King Arthur has sourdough starter and I'm interested in trying it out. I didn't get it while we were up there because of trying to get it home (even though we did have a cooler with us). I don't want to order it until we come back from our mini-vacation in October because of caring for the starter (it needs to be fed regularly). I have a $20 gift card to KA and I also have a $10 coupon off a $50 order (wish I would have had that before we went to KA last weekend). And I want to wait until the weather cools down a bit....not til winter, but it needs to be cooler than it is right now.
I've done the Amish friendship breads and all that stuff....never had any trouble with those starters and got some pretty good bread from them. I've made my own sourdough starters and didn't have any trouble with them. But I didn't get that yeastiness that I associate with really good sourdough. There's a "tang" to a good hunk of sourdough bread that's decadently good. I don't get that with my doughs.
You know, there's sourdough bread. Sourdough soft pretzels. Sourdough pizza crust. Waffles. And bagels! Sourdough bagels! Yum!
Has anybody done anything with sourdough starters? Any tips or hints I should know about?
Thanks!
