Hey! Sounds like a great hobby, do you have a favorite type of loaf to make?
My favorite loaf to make is sourdough. I have been developing the starter for over a year, and now it has an incredibly rich flavor.
Wow that sounds delicious! Did it take a long time to develop the rich flavor? Did you get the loaf right on the first go?
Yes, I think the flavor improves and develops over time. I have read a blog post that stated their sourdough starter had been in the family for generations. I did not get it right on the first try, it took about ten tries to get the technique right.
Very interesting that it can pass between generations. And good for you for having the perseverance to keep going with it. I just read that temperature is a significant factor in the process, do you have any tips for this? 
Yes, it is important to keep the temperature between 75-85 degrees. Set your proof in the oven, with the oven off but the light on, and it will keep it at a steady 80
Great to know, thanks for the information! Have you ever used the sourdough starter to make other baked goods like crepes, bagels, or fritters?
I have not tried crepes or fritters, but those are fantastic ideas. I will need to try out some recipes for that. I have tried making sourdough bagels and they did turn out nicely. I is very time consuming to make though.
Ah yes, that is what I have also read about making those tricky bagels earlier today. Apparently you can get free standard overnight shipping on bagels these days, so why even bother with all the fuss?
Yes, I completely agree. It is a fun pass time and hobby, and enjoyable to make bagels for a few hours. But, if I just want a quick snack I would rather pick up a pack at the store.
