Sourdough thread............

Thoughts said:
I used to make hella sourdough bread. The slightly sweet kind you enjoy with some butter after toasting. Even made into a giant cinnamon roll a few times. But, to my disgust, no one in my immediate vicinity was bread eaters. To emphasize, these people didn't even fix/buy bread when making spaghetti. I look to my 3 daughters, who don't even eat sandwiches on a monthly status...so I had to hang it up.

I’ve been doing cinnamon sticks with the discard- my son eats it all
 
Well I did the crusty boule sourdough - the kids love it now, so I may be doing it a bit more often.

This one didn't have the oven spring I recall getting, I think I over-proofed it.

Nice.

I didn't want to have to deal with getting the dough into/out of the deep bottom of my "regular" dutch oven, so I bought a Lodge "Combo Cooker" for doing bread.

And I use a silpat mat instead of parchment.

It works so easy. Just set the silpat on top of the dough in the banneton, flip it over onto your hand, and then hold it by the edges to set it onto the smaller side of the cooker. Score, put the lid on, and you're good to go.

I actually use two silpats, because it helps keep the bottom crust a little bit thinner.
