Sourdough Master

When we got back from our last CA trip we stopped at the Boudin Bakery in the airport for some sourdough bread and ever since Doug has really been wanting to make it because we can't find any to buy that actually tastes sour/tangy at all. So we've been doing experiments with starter for the last few weeks. Mainly he has been doing them actually. It's another project he's taken on lately. But I'm happy to say that although the first try was pretty much a rock solid lump disaster, the second attempt was totally delicious and pretty fluffy.

It is amazing what some water, unbleached flour and a pinch of salt can do. 

This is Doug's pleasanly surprised face. 

It was actually sour and it actually had a good texture...

Still a work in progress I suppose, but basically a complete success!

It is sooooooo delicious toasted with butter. Heavenly.
