sourdough
Hi All,
I decided I wanted to make sourdough pancakes so I found a recipe for sourdough starter and I mixed up some flour and water and threw a dab of bread yeast in and let it sit around uncovered for a while and sure enough made some reasonable pancakes using my starter.Now I read a little more and find that I didn't really catch a sourdough yeast because as I understand it a sourdough yeast is wild and when I added the domestic bread yeast I actually insured that I wouldn't have the wild one which might or might not have been good tasting so I suppose that if I were to start over and not add the bakers yeast but rather try to attract a wild yeast that tastes good, well if I try it and don't like it I just throw it on the compost pile and keep trying. Well, my question is what are my odds? How many times do you suppose I'll have to try before I get a good one? Also if I leave my quasi sour dough starter [ the one where I added the bread yeast] uncovered will it become a mixture of bread yeast and wild yeast? Thanks in advance, John |

You posted the exact same question only yesterday, Mr. Short Term Memory.
