The very first time it is cut, the first slice is cut into pieces, layered with butter and shared with everyone in the house (that is awake). We call it the breaking of the bread, and it is certainly a nice way to taste any of the different flours/seeds/oats/nuts etc you might have added to try something a little different. Not a single recipient of the first slice has refused it yet... And most will ask for just one little slice more :)https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/5.jpg 5Add the water from as high as possible into the bowl with the sponge. I have found that a meter of height gives a really nice bubbly response but can cause quite a bit of mess. (sorry, only joking, you can add the water at any height...)https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/1.jpg 1Add the first amount of flour to create the sponge.https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/2.jpg 2Frank (the sourdough starter) ready for action https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/3.jpg 3Adding Frank to the spongehttps://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/4.jpg 4Feeding Frank with flour and water, and then he is put back out in the outdoor fridge to sleephttps://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/7.jpg 7Mix the flour, water and Frank into a gooey mess and then cover in a plastic bag or with cling film. Leave to rest for 12hrs or so. You can put it in the fridge to slow the process if needed.https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/11.jpg 11After the sponge has started to activate (it will start to get nice and bubbly on the surface - it depends on the warmth of the place you let it rest), the rest of the ingredients need to be added. Salt...https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/13.jpg 13And flour... I tend to make the sponge with white flour (and also feed Frank with plain white) and then use different flours added at this second stage of making the dough. Mixtures of white, wholemeal, rye are great, and sometimes add seeds as well. 2014-03-11T10:52:26+00:00monthlyhttps://robboyandjulesadventures.com/2014/02/28/boot-pack-baby/https://robboyandjulesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/img_1524.jpgIMG_1524The third tree Rob has had to apologise to.
