I’m quite chuffed, even while there are some wrinkles to tease out.

The starting problem was the starter. That’s now been sorted. 💃 I also mixed and turned and folded a lot more diligently this time – quite the witchy thing, eh? 😉

My oven temperatures and, therefore, baking…

I will try the adopting starter route as well. Perhaps, the rise and fall issue that I realised belatedly resulted in this. Interestingly, this one was rising in the fridge!

While I made notes, I think I may have lost stuff in translation between watching it and writing down the description of the steps.

Here are some things that I think went wrong:

1. The levain was pushed to rise through multiple external interventions. I don’t know if that resulted in airiness that wasn’t quite sturdy.

2. I’m not sure I did the proofing step properly.

3. The dough went pretty much splat as soon as I turned it out onto…

In reply to - Vinti Mehta to Navika Kapoor @NavikaKapoor could have a separate discussion thread for sourdough discard recipes? I see some here but finding them is difficult. Or if a hashtag can work in this interface.

Everyone – could you please share recipes for sourdough pizza crust (just the crust) or sourdough pizza? I’d love to use the discard for that!

So once my starter started rising more than double and falling a little (about .5 to 1 cm). I thought it was supposed to rise and fall three times consistently (consecutively), and then it had to be fed and put into the fridge. That is what I did.

Now I see that there…

My current hypothesis is that the maroon lid one is a little too large and the black lid one is just right (and cozy) so the starter fared better there. Metaphorically, maybe Gaia felt the name was too pretentious and Gayatri (coined by Ekaa with a lot of love) felt the name was just right!

I have a question and a request-

Question – I have a Morphy Richards 52L oven. What is the size of tile I should get? And is the tile essential?

Request – could you please record the Meet and Greet scheduled for today? I won’t be able to attend, and I don’t want to miss out.…
