  • Hawai'i Five-0 Sourdough!


    Began another starter here in Hawai'i. I just love sourdough bread and the breadhead I am keeps me going for it. I have my starter in California still. My dear wife is taking good care of it for me. Thanks Babe. Here I was once without, but not anymore. Started this with flour, espresso cooled, half of a lime squeezed of it's juices. went to water and lime juice on the feedings there after. The begining began with a 8 ounce canning jar. No lid. Just covered with a nylon stocking to catch that "wild yeast". Sure enough one week's time and it was active. A month of nurturing the starter to a strong culture, before making bread. The windows are open 24/7 here in Oahu. Ocean air always.
    The culture was sweet smelling and not rancid. This is a good indicator Below are some shots of the process of making Sourdough English Muffin bread.



    My get up.


    These new pans of mine are deeper than my others. I will make another full recipe in the future. Usually 1 recipe fills 2 bread pans. I will use the other recipe too top off these loaves. I made 4 loaves on this occasion.






    Gave a few to some co-workers. They LOVE it!
    And I love the positive feed back




    Today I have 2 recipes made, on their 2nd rise as a sourdough starter, 1st as the recipe and then into the bread pans to proof a 3rd time. Purely Purist. No commercial yeasts. Warm weather promotes activity. I believe the longer they proof and as many proofs as this recipe requires, it ferments nicely giving them a great tang.

    Thanks for checking out my bread thread.

      "The juice creates an acidic environment that prevents bad bacteria from taking over and causing spoilage during the fermentation period."

      This is by far my favorite recipe

          Keep me in mind for any "Ah Ha's" when it comes to sourdough baking. I am continually on a search for a good recipe for a SF sourdough loaf and what it takes to bake one.

              Don't typically associate Hawaii and sourdough, but it sure seems like a winning combination there. Nice Work!

                honky was working in hawaii at the time (alright for some :-), he usually resides in either california or nevada (I forget which one but lean towards east california)

                there are a bunch of sourdough posts and threads on the forum - and while the search engine these days seems to throw up every single thread ever posted - no matter what you search for. If you know who posted a thread you can narrow it down slightly.

                Try searching for threads started by: uncle honky & gunslinger with sourdough in the thread title.

                    Dayummmm Ryan!

                    Gotta slap ya with some for this one. For sammich bread, I've converted totally over to SD. Love the process and agree with the "purist" approach. I still whip up a quick batch a' yeast bread, but love everything about sourdough.

                    Starting your own...damn!!! Good to hear from ya.

                    Well...everything I've read is that given the natural yeast process that Ryan describes, the only place you will ever create and maintain a SF sourdough is in SF. Don't be disappointed and embrace what your local environment gives ya.

                    Hey, Hey, HEY!!! Don't forget the Bassman!!! I was lucky enough to stumble upon the site whose name we cannot speak.......and that's how an almost four year friendship was "started" between me and Keith that included a conspicuous meeting at a gas station with a plastic quart cottage cheese container of his 30 year + starter.

                    AKA - BM#1 (Bassman kickass sourdough)!!! that you may see occasionally in my posts!

                    ...and if you need weights and ounces to make bread....you're not making bread!

                        He is indeed in California. I was in Las Vegas for a convention a few years back and got to visit him and BBQ Goddess at Uncle Honky's abode. What a blast that was!!!

                        I have to get on this sourdough gig... glad this thread got bumped.


                        Drinks well with others
