Tried a baguette and boule.... I feel maybe my oven was too hot, and/or I should have pulled it out at 35".... a bit dense (the baguette is not cut, but it may not have risen too much and crust is hard....might have to turn some of that into homemade breadcrumbs/croutons if baguette is too 'hard'...... boule tasted great toasted. it was fun!
I feed my starter in the evening. It was on the kitchen counter. It started to rise in the jar about an inch and a half. The next morning, it was back down to the starting point. No more rise to it. It does have small bubbles and no signs of being spoiled. What to do now?
my starter filled to the top of jar after feeding last night. i was worried about overflow so transferred it to larger jar...... this morning it is bubbly and looks happy but volume is about 2/3 of what it was last night. we took class on tuesday, so this was the 2nd feeding of our new starter from class
