Sourdough bread, loaf two! I think I’m finding my groove when it comes to bread making. For my second loaf of sourdough bread I used a recipe I found a long time ago on a pretty non-descript website on Amish sourdough bread. I proofed Miss Mango the night before and then the next morning I mixed in the sugar, salt, and flour. After rising twice (only 1 hour per rise!), I baked up my second loaf! … [Read more...]
