| This is a Russian sourdough starter that I use all the time to
bake good tasting bread for my family. I believe that the best bread
is made of only starter, flour, and salt. Adding stuff to it like nuts
etc only makes it fancier but not better. Eating this bread is helpful
to me because it leaves me feeling satiated without insulin related
hunger pangs and sugar blues. Use of unbleached flour is recommended
for health reasons but the bread from bleached enriched flour tastes
just as good. You can use whole wheat flour to bake bread, but I would
suggest using regular flour to feed the starter. It takes 4-5 minutes
of your personal time to bake a loaf of bread. Flour costs $4.50 per
25 lbs at Sam's Club and Costco. A loaf of bread will end up costing
you about 25 cents. |
Testimony: Just made 2 loaves of Sourdough Rye! This starter is very
active. I don't use a bread machine as I rather knead and form it the
old way, It tastes very European.
The loaf shown below was made with 1 cup regular flour and 1 cup whole
wheat flour. You can buy regular bleached flour in 25 lbs bags for
$4.50 at Sam's Club and Costco. Assuming these prices, a loaf of
sourdough bread costs you about $0.25.
I will mail you a letter with good quantity of dried starter. For
local pickups , I will just pour you a reasonable quantity of starter
to get you going. I can also email you the sourdough starter FAQ from
rec.food.sourdough.
If you are not satisfied for any reason, I will refund you the entire
amount you paid.
