I wonder if its possible to set up a thread somewhere for a discussion on making bread. To me, it's as amazingly natural a hobby as growing canna. I don't think too many people will be interested in it, though I imagine some will. I know it's not terribly on-topic for this site.
To that end, I just started a loaf with some starter I brought back from the (almost) dead. Soon I am going to start documenting the process for making different kinds of bread using the starter. Flour, Water, Salt. It doesn't get much simpler than that, and you'd be amazed what you can accomplish just by adjusting the ratios of those three ingredients.
Maintaining a starter is a lot like caring for the tent-critters. Keeping something alive and happy so that one day it can make you alive and happy
Peace
