Baking I learned has been great to show that the impossible in within reached. This would be my third attempt at sourdough sinceI have killed the other two sourdough starters by not feeding on time. Knowing that habits or routines require 21 tries is comforting since I have a long run way left before I am expected to take flight. I gave it a rest this week to show myself that anything is possible. And I have already made two loaves in the last two days.
The sour dough starter is the King Arthur starter and the recipe is here.
Using a bread machine and a scale reduce need for any mixing bowl. The only utensils used are measuring spoons for salt, sugar. If those were dispensed using a fixed amount dispenser bottle then the only measuring tools that are needed are the 1) cup that is used to scoop up flour and then sour dough (working from dry to wet ) 2) measuring spoon for oil.
It took less than 10 minutes for a 1.5 lb loaf that the kids can eat with Nutella or peanut butter on the weekends and jam or egg during school days (their schools have nut free policies).
Tools
1. Kitchen scale
2. Keepeez Bread machine
3. Instant Yeast (no need to premix In water, as directly to flour)
