Bread baking has been put on the back burner while there's a new baby in the house. Which is probably a good thing, because i just cannot resist a freshly baked loaf of sourdough. The more I bake, the more I eat! <br /><br />rachel xo tea with lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189192073489440981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306762801453084181.post-88505104425301364262013-06-25T20:51:58.117+10:002013-06-25T20:51:58.117+10:00Thanks Muppy.

There is nothing better and I find when I buy artisan bread it gets eaten alot quicker than the supermarket offering. I love that you have made a little business out of it when time permits.

I have a theory that we bake and cook for the different stages in our lives. When I was first married and working in an 'actual job' I rarely baked. Now with children life is different. I suspect in another 10 years it will change again.

I refresh my starter at least weekly, sometimes more. I feed the excess to my hens so I don't have a problem with the waste factor. Everyone has a different approach to sourdough don't they? <br /><br />One way to use up excess starter is in sourdough pancakes. There is a great recipe on a blog called Crunchy Tiger.
