Stayed tuned and you’ll have your lesson shortly. :)

In the meantime, can’t wait to hear what bread recipes you try out…please tell us how you liked them! If nothing else, maybe you can report back on ways to make moonshine gin from old sourdough starters… ;)

The higher the gluten level in the flour, the happier the yeast will be (bubbles!). But you don’t have to master everything in the kitchen (it’s terribly embarrassing, but I can not cook rice to save my life) so stick with the glory of the pita! :) As for that rosemary olive oil loaf, it will be yours soon (tomorrow)…

I love sour dough but I get lazy about feeding it. I can see it on the shelf in the fridge five times a day and think “gotta feed that today” but not do it. I dumped three down the drain a couple of weeks ago. All three jars had a half inch of hooch (alcohol) on top. I think it might have lethal. I’m going to make a couple of your recipes tomorrow.

If you sprout wheat berries I would LOVE a lesson. I have no idea how to sprout the berries or use them.

I’ve been trying this “sourdough bread thing” for quite some time now, never with good results (either it doesn’t grow, or if it does the inside is not properly baked. I have to admit I think I’m the problem and not the sourdough…). Guess I’ll have to keep on trying…
Might I had that rosemary olive oil loaf sounds great? (as in can’t wait for you to post the recipe ;-) )
All this said I’m off to the kitchen to bake some more pita bread (at least those turn out perfect every time)
