Oversized

Sourdough Honey Wheat Bread--a traditional bread that requires kneading, rising, punching down, and rising.


Bread dough rising

I might have let the loaf rise a *tad* too long. I didn't factor in the oven spring.


Oversized

I was worried that the bread might have huge airholes or be dry on top, but neither was a problem. It toasts beautifully and takes the butter and apricot jam well.


Tasty toast

But when it came to putting the loaf away, it was too big for my normal bread container as well as just about every other container in the kitchen. The only one large enough was the bread flour canister. It won't be in here long.


Improvising

Another favorite: Sourdough Biscuits

The sourdough starter is a few weeks old and I think I'm getting my sourdough mojo back. This is the 3rd time I've made these biscuits and each batch is better than the last.


Sourdough Biscuits

They're delicious with butter and jam and they also make a great little sandwich bun.

The starter is from Goldrush and the biscuit recipe is from the Carl Griffith 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough Starter brochure.
