Hello David,
Very interesting to read your comment. We have not heard about this study. We can only assume the crustiness comes from the lengthy and cold proofing process. But things like using the right type of flour and using a good quantity of steam also play their part in the end result.

Happy SF baking!

Don’t remember the reason.

Yes, you can use your own starter, that is no problem at all. We use a small amount of starter for this recipe, so the rye % is also very small. We use rye because a sourdough culture based on rye flour is easier to maintain, it does not transform into a slurry when you forget about it, it is easier to stir because it has almost no gluten and it smells very very nice, a bit like fruit. But your bread flour culture will do the job just as well we think.

Or I could cheat and add a little rye to my starter for a couple of days? Just wondering. Thank you! My bread flour starter is about two months old and triples in about 4-5 hours.

The FDA warns you not to drink sodium chlorite products such as Miracle Mineral Solution. These products can make you sick.

Shaping and final rise in an oval banetton, it had risen beautifully and came out easily. But as soon as it hit the pizza stone (preheated in the oven) it just spread out flat. What a shame. I am sure it’s going to taste very nice and a joy to eat, but just too flat.
What is the reason for this? Any help appreciated. Thanks a lot

Thanks for sharing!

I share it with family and friends. Some are intimidated, but I urge them on and they will see the tutorial is so perfect it is only a matter of buying the ingredients and having the patience . I did replace a good quality white with wheat for the pool portion and found it to be a nice change that I really enjoyed. This way I can now enjoy two forms of the same recipe with only a slight change and the texture is not too dense and the sourness comes through… The only thing I do is keep it out longer than 9 hours- I do 12 with the wheat and refrigerate for one extra day before making the loaf recipe, so at least 50+ hours instead of 34 hours…then continue with the instructions as usual… I tried following the same timeline with my first attempt and also noticed the wheat required an additional gram of salt for some reason…. I am trying the extended timeline with your original recipe to see if it adds any flavor or improves the outcome any more…curiosity more than anything. Your recipe is exquisite on it’s own! Many thanks and prayers for your family… I am a bit of a health seeker and do not know if this applies to your family, but if they are having ANY health issues I highly recommend this site to learn about MMS on Telegram…MMS Drinking Buddies. They will teach you how to cure most issues in the most cost saving and effective way… You have to see the site and listen to their podcasts to believe what it is capable of…Life saving for 95% of ALL illnesses… many that doctors send home to die get cured and you can learn and do it yourself for pennies…MMS stands for Mineral Miracle Solution and it is truly just that… Hope you look into it either way to have in your health arsenal… I can testify it is helping serious conditions in my loved ones. Take care and stay hope this gets read and helps someone.

I will let you know how the rye starter/wheat pool, spelt with white flour turns out…baking day is tomorrow, but sometimes I let it sit an extra day in the fridge for a full flavor. The sour flavor is getting only better the older my starter is getting. Thanks again

My starter, made from rye flour, took a while before the flavor developed into a tangy, sour one…about a month or more.

Once you start baking with a scale, you will never want to rely on cups…You can pack the flour too densely and change the recipe…and not for the better…I found a cheap scale at a yard sale and another at a thrift store and use them for all sorts of uses…only $12 dollars on amazon otherwise.
