Sour dough bread

Well yesterday marked the one week birthday of my new sour-dough-y pet. I must say he is coming along nicely.

I have almost remembered to feed it daily and has taken on all the usual characteristics of a sour dough starter. Let's have a peek inside.

Nice and frothy looking with a nice beer like smell.

I also have started using it to flavour the dough of my bread. Not quite ready to use it without my commercial yeast yet. But soon.

This loaf tasted fantastic. Never again will I buy bread.

Over the next few days I will continue to grow it and hopefully it will replace the commercial yeast in my loaf.
