Late to the sourdough party. My first attempt yesterday, thanks to Mrs Fix's dad sending some of his starter (half white / half rye, I think).
I used it to make the half wholemeal / half white loaf that I'd previously been doing with quick yeast. Also has a bunch of sunflower seeds in it.
It's so tasty. Came out OK, with a nice crispy crust and chewy crumb. Sort of feeling my way with the new set of timings, and waiting to see how the starter will react to it's new non-rye feeding regime…
The best thing was the reaction from my son. I was half expecting him to spit it out, complaining about this new sour tasting variant; but he chewed it with a very considered expression and then gave the nod and make the kind of enthusiastic noises you can't fake (particularly when you're 6).
