I just started my “Beast” sourdough starter, and already thinking about the next delicious bread I am going to make but I am not sure how much of it can be used in 1kg flour. I am new to this adventure and loving every moment 😊
I am new to using sourdough this year, and have been learning a lot on the internet. Google has been really useful to me. When I feed my starter, I use a scale and measure equal parts starter, flour, and water. The King Arthur web site is very helpful, and so is this web page from thekitchn.com https://www.thekitchn.com/sourdough-beginners-guide-23004397 Happy baking!
This is the recipe that got me started making sourdough bread. I appreciated the photos in the instructions. They helped me know how things were supposed to look. You'll need a dutch oven to bake it in. https://www.culturedfoodlife.com/recipe/overnight-sourdough-bread/
The King Arthur web site has a great recipe for sourdough pancakes that use the discard from feeding your sourdough. It makes a big batch and they freeze beautifully. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-sourdough-waffles-or-pancakes-recipe
They also have a really good cracker recipe: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/sourdough-crackers-recipe
Yes, I use all purpose flour. Sometimes if I have a bag of whole wheat flour, I'll mix in a few scoops when I fill my all purpose flour jar. That gives it a little bit of whole wheat, but not noticeable. The sourdough seems to like a taste of whole wheat. I tend to wing it. It is very forgiving.
