Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Are you rising it cold overnight Fleecy, and how long does it prove after shaping, before baking? In a tin, or a banetton, or free form?

Google searches for yeast seem to suggest a lot of profiteering going on. People on ebay seem to be splitting a 500g pack of fermipan (retail £6 ish) and selling it 25g packs for £3.50 each!

Good grief! I've got 8 sachets of new easy bake from little Sainsburys I'm happy to share!

Fleecy: I shape it at the end of kneading (either in a breadmaker or by hand). Then I leave it to rise (which is either overnight, or over day depending on the time of year!). Once risen I bake without touching it.

I doubt this is the "proper" way to do it, but it is the lazy way to do it, and it works!

(though perhaps I should qualify that, with the fact that my main goal when baking or cooking is to produce edible food. If it is nutritious, cheap and uses ingredients that need using up, bonus.)

Focaccia and a roman style loaf (apparently)

Half a small bag of yeast left now, probably another 5 or possibly 6 loaves left. Was it worth making, heck yes.

I’m used to baking with yeast so I’m not used to how floppy the dough is. I don’t have a wanky basket but have got a tin which worked ok another attempt. I’m probably going have to leave it longer aren’t I? It needs too much patience even with a machine this stupid sourdough!

I think people get into a routine with Sourdough.
