sourdough part 2


Wasn't happy with the rise i got from my sourdough. It was vigorously alive, and then i noticed last night somewhere in the sponge stage it seemed to die down...i let if proof all nite but still no change htis morning. baked it thinking what the hey, see what happens. It had dropped into the 70's this morning and was the only good oven time. The rise sucked but the flavor and texture were still nice. So, improvise! Sourdough crackers for our picnic. Slice the loaves real thin w serrated knife...then bake for about 5 more minutes, like biscotti!
it was a sorta happy accident. i like the way these'd look on a beautiful rustic cheese tray.


Still have about 8 hours rise time on the Tuscan loaves....what a lovely way to spend a day off....
