Seems to be alive. Took three rounds of feeding to come back though which is interesting as most of the online stuff suggests it should just instantly come back.
Any tips to supercharge my starter? Goofy you mentioned the one you got from baker was way stronger. I wonder what they do? I already use bf.
Very nice
Never heard of someone who doesn’t like olive oil. Interesting.
It’s cubist.
I’ve always used Robin Hood.
Also, my starter seems to have finally really come back to life. Going to try a loaf tomorrow.
Question for the master breadmakers in this thread: What is the benefit of using your your own starter instead of yeast from the store (but doing everything else the same)? It is just fun and cool, or is there a benefit to the taste/texture/whatever of the final product?
Can’t someone just make and sell a different yeast mixture to give you that flavor?
How much do these run? I think we could probably take up a collection, especially if you would put up regular vids.
I could see swinging a camera, but a kitchen remodel might be a bit much.
Even the slightly worse tasting of those two is still going to taste pretty great to someone who isn’t eating fresh bread on the reg. So, I vote for better pattern.
Congrats, that’s a nice looking loaf.
Seems like the quality of the cocoa used would play a big role in how good this will end up?
I made this NYT recipe for choc-cherry sourdough around Christmas. It uses yeast as well as starter, I believe to counteract the heaviness of the ingredients, but it was delicious.
Wait I’m confused. Can you describe your process? Am I doing a bunch of unnecessary work?
Ok that’s basically my process too.
Well, let’s not jump to conclusions. The evidence is available. How did your lazy loaf taste?
What are you going to eat them with?
I can’t imagine you slathering them with cream cheese, although that is what I’d do.
Cream cheese consumption and visible abs are not a combo most can pull off. Respect.
What a useless “embed” feature. If post is a video, it just posts a thumbnail.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that you’re her bread crush too. Has she seen your finest loaves?
