My new obsession. Recipe from Rowen White, indigenous woman and seedkeeper, who posted it on social media. I’ve made three batches now, fine-tuning each time. Here’s a few photos without going into the whole procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night before, feed my starter. I just store the scrapings from each time in my fridge, a technique I learned from Bake with Jack, UK, on YouTube. I love my starter. It’s so reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starter added to milled whole wheat flour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scrapings go back in the fridge for next time. Sometimes I wipe off the rim which can get gunky and very dried out. If things get too dirty looking, I transfer to a clean container, but not every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All ingredients: 3 cups flour, about 100 g of starter, one tablespoon honey, 1\/2 tsp salt, 1 cup oat milk. I made two mistakes here: put the salt right on the starter (not it’s favorite substance) and added cold oatmilk (I really should warm it!). Nevertheless, everything proceeded just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Initial dough ball is pretty dry and coarse. Let rest for 30-60 minutes. Then knead for five minutes. Then let rise for 8-12 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dough has risen, the texture is much softer and the sourdough action is apparent. Press down with fingertips to about 1″ in height. Then cut in rounds. I used a drinking glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Muffin rounds resting, cornmeal sprinkled above and below. The irregularly shaped ones are assembled from remnants of dough after cutting the nice rounds. Let these rise for awhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cooling on a rack after cooking on the stovetop. I used a ceramic frying pan with lid. I cook three at a time for six minutes each side on a low flame. These look delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
