Bread - What are you baking today…..
-
Well in the store cupboard I have organic whole meal wheat flour, and wholemeal rye flour that isn’t organic… and I’m not going down the shops. A mix maybe?
You can try both… I won't mix. You can do a Rye or a Rye/Wheat bread with a Rye starter or a Wheat bread with a Wheat starter. Or if you do want to make a bread without a sourdough starter you can as well try Matty's recipe although I would prefer fresh yeast... but that's just my 2 cents.
If you want to make a sourdough or Levain bread you need a starter...

I’m going to start to make a sourdough starter tomorrow using this:

Similar to your recipe @Chap
I haven’t decided on rye or wheat as I have two kilos of each and can score more on Monday, so probably rye.
@Matty123 I may try that poolish based recipe concurrent to the starter making process.
Thank you all gentlemen.

As I have mentioned to @Chap before. I do not knead (nor do I use a machine to mix), the Ken Forkish method eschews kneading. He teaches the pincer method combined with folding. And because kneading bores me rigid, I like him…...

I’m reading and re-reading the recipe from the above link and the King Arthur Flour recipe which are similar, but I have a dumbass question.
I begin the starter in a 500ml mason jar, after three days when I start to feed it I will mix some of the OG starter with fresh flour and water in a clean bowl. Then I get rid of the remaining starter. Before transferring the new mix back to the mason jar, should I clean the mason jar first?
