I have been on a baking binge since I returning home from my mother's funeral. My baking is usually successful, so I was surprised as well as frustrated when my attempts at creating a sour dough starter were spectacular failures. One attempt resulted in a lovely bowl of mold, but no sourdough...
On the 4th try, I used the instructions from King Arthur Flour's Whole Grain Baking, and was rewarded with a nice crock of fragrant, bubbly, yeasty sour dough starter.
And so today I was at last able to bake sourdough from my own starter. Don't you wish you could smell these loaves, hot from the oven as they are??

I'm in total agreement with Jacque! I definitely could smell that glorious bread! TORTURE! I am positively salivating. Sigh ... your house must smell like a corner of Heaven!
Nothing is better than the smell of baking bread! I used to have a crock of 100 year old starter (got some from a friend) but I let it die. Are you going to keep yours going?
Your bread is beautiful, I am drooling and like Jacque and Kai I swear I can smell it!! Maybe you could send us all a piece? LOL
Judi,
I just pulled out 'paska'/Ukrainian Easter bread from my oven.....I think I might get your drift about smell. Dang, wish you lived closer, I'd exchange a loaf! Sue McF.
It looks divine, Judi, and I'm sure tasted just that way!kmdw
