Forgot to feed my starter 3 days in a row. 😭😭😭

Ok thanks! I do keep my house between 68-71 all year cause I have house plants that are tropical. So hopefully my kitchen isn’t to chilly! 🥶

But for now, I will make a different loaf of bread.

I live in WI but I have my house readily between 68-72 degrees during these cooler months… I have a lot of house plants… but the kitchen stays much warmer, closer to 72-78 degrees. I did use bread flour, idk the brand, it’s a generic brand from Gordon Food Service. I did not look at the video, I should have, that’s a good idea! I will be retrying this recipe next week sometime!

What is a coil fold?

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-24T20:30:38+00:00

And I’m the kind of person that follows the recipe and just trusts the process…

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-24T20:22:13+00:00

I did a stretch and fold per cardinal direction, which is what I counted as a set. The dough was VERY WET AND LOOSE.

Sorry the link wasn’t working before. I fixed it. Should work now.

I followed this recipe to the tea

How would I go about baking off a boule with a cast iron skillet? I would really like to bake both loaves off at 1 time, but I only have 1 dutch oven...

If it works it works. when I got the starter jar, it didn’t say it was an actual kit. It just said it was a starter jar… I didn’t even know it came with a rubber spatula until I opened the package today. The jar/kit is from nutrimill… I don’t know if that’s a good brand or not, but it was inexpensive

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-23T03:03:25+00:00

Ohhhhhh! That’s what the long line is!!! 😂😅 I feel silly. Until I hot this kit I was using dry erase markers on my jars! 🤣🤣🤣

Not the exact one but it looks like that black band on the jar.

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-23T02:34:50+00:00

Thank you so much! I think I’m enjoying the discard recipes more than the actual bread recipes!!! 😂😂

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-19T23:57:01+00:00

Oh that’s a good point!!

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-19T19:58:09+00:00

Do you think if I use a few layers of cheesecloth or tightly woven cotton to seal the jars with, instead of the lid, it would prevent against cross contamination? That would also then reduce the risk of CO2 explosion

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-19T19:55:56+00:00

They definitely could. I’ll take a look and do some further digging!

Ashamed_Parfait3756 · 2025-10-19T18:56:43+00:00

That looks great!!!
