That's terrific !<br />I guess that sealing the container as soon as you mix the flour and water means that you are relying on organisms that come with the flour. I wonder if you used rainwater whether you would get exactly the same culture ? I have a culture that began with a plain flour and rainwater mix and it makes quite nice bread although, I have to admit, it's not nearly as tasty as the Italian culture that I got from Ed Wood a couple of years ago. Perhaps there's not quite as much 'culture' (in its various senses) in Sydney rainwater as there would be in Naples :)slowmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908036439842167912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581860072158831682.post-61760291666697973962009-05-07T22:30:00.000+01:002009-05-07T22:30:00.000+01:00Thanks Sarah, I couldn't link back to your profile...Thanks Sarah, I couldn't link back to your profile to leave a comment, but if you look back here, I hope you're sourdough experiment goes well.

I hope eventually i will get it right! Good luck with yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027621715110366153noreply@blogger.com
