I made sourdough bread


I make our whole wheat bread on a pretty regular basis these days...figure if I'm gonna pay for good bread I'm gonna eat good bread, plus it makes the place smell wonderful.  Lately I've had a go at making some sourdough starter and found out that sending off for a good starter is probably the smart way to go. Mine eventually smelled properly sour but the bread didn't want to rise.  I finally got a decent loaf but it took forever to rise and I might have cheated with just a wee touch of yeast in the dough along the way.
I'll get it figured out one of these days.
