CA is great for sourdough better then any other state in the US. Sourdough is made from the wild yeast in the air and all yeast have different tastes that is why you never get the same yummy taste as San Francisco sourdough. But all sourdough is really good, I am sure your is going to be delicious and can't wait for you to tell us how it comes out. When you are making your bread use bread flour it is made from a different wheat then all purpose flour. Also add a teaspoon or 2 of lemon or orange juice. You won't take it but the citric acid makes the dough rise higher. have fun baking

When i make fresh bread, i cool it and then freeze it. If i leave it on the counter all soft and fresh i'm in trouble. And if i have room temperature butter i'm in double trouble. i'll post a pic when i get it done. will probably make it on friday.

I love fresh bread too. The problem is that when I make 2 or more loaves we don't get to it while it's still fresh. So I "have" to give it away. It's a great way for our neighbors to like me. I think it would be impossible to make just one loaf - hardly worth the effort. My daughter and husband are coming this weekend. He will be my slave for the whole stay if I make him fresh bread. And kneel at my feet if I also fry some into a scone. Ahh ha, I need leaves raked. . . . .
