            Fed my starter for the first time. It was bubbly af. Going to keep feeding it for four days I think.  One question, all the web stuff I’m reading is American and they use terms like “general purpose” flour, or “bread flour”, which is distinct from wholemeal flours. I have no idea what this is in Norwegian money. I’m assuming it is not the finely milled white wheat flour one would use when baking white loaves or buns?

            Bread flour has 17.5% Protein. Look for that or higher. Unbleached  flour is less protein than the bread flour.

              After starting to read this book today, I realized that I had lunch in Ken's Artisan Bakery about a year and a half ago, in Portland. Book is very informative. I forgot to mention that it was excellent, I had a Croque Monsieur and we took some breads and deserts to take to our friends home.

                I baked some honey oat bread, based on this recipe today.

                http://bakingdom.com/2011/09/homemade-honey-oat-bread.html

                It didn't come out as well as some of the loaves on this thread. It's a bit stodgy, but it's the first time I've baked in a while, so hopefully I can do a better job next time.

                      All these lovely loaves you're making I thought i'd give it a go….Cant get strong flour and to be honest any flour anywhere.

                          Day 4 for my starter. Been feeding it with rye alone for the last two days. It rises over night. No bubbles on the surface but I think that is because a crust forms. Looks like plenty of bubbles in it though, and it smells funky so I think it is doing OK… thoughts?

                                I will be separating a dollop of starter out this evening (thus halving the cycle), and feeding it, then starting my a bread the next day. No locally available flour with more than 12% protein @ROman so that will have to do.

                                I’m probably going to let it proof overnight so it is ready to bake on Saturday morning. Easter in isolation ftw!

                                  Looks great Reuben. Doing baguettes today I think.

                                        Not the most beautiful of shapes but it tastes very good and was very easy. I forgot to
                                        Score them so they ripped where they may.
