Sour dough for me is always striving for perfection - hate a "failed" loaf but always an opportunity to learn.
There are just so many variables at play here but I love it! Also another reason I love the science of brewing

Those are beautiful. Great job. I made English muffins (so-called, seeing that Brits don't know what they are) once, they were delicious. Next we should try a REAL English recipe - crumpets

If you've never made homemade crumpets, then you've got to give this crumpet recipe a go! They're even better with homemade butter. Recipe from Jamie magazine.

Amazing what a difference five minutes makes.
Also don’t ask me what the hell I was doing with the scoring on the right. It’s been a while and was rushing not using my brain.
That looks great, nothing worse than energy efficient pale bread..

In future I’ll be going for the 5min less on the left.
It’s much easier to cut and doesn’t have that often slightly bitter taste of the caramelised crust.
Also easier to eat.

What do you eat the sourdough bread with?

Ok, what do you like to eat it with? Like what really compliments sourdough bread.
If it's a good recipe then butter. Things like jam and cheese smother the bread's flavour.
I even eat avocado separately

If it’s an hour or two out of the oven and still warm I love to have it with a bit of real butter and sometimes a sprinkling of coarse salt.
If it’s next day then I’ll do honey or peanut butter or jam and that kind of thing.
If it’s even older I’ll turn it into grilled cheese which it’s superb for as it’s so rigid with the harder crust.
If it’s a side dish for a main meal then dip it in some balsamic vinegar mixed with olive oil.
I have Crohn’s Disease so sour dough is a good option as an alternative to going completely gluten free.
For those in the Jhb area or don't mind making a trip, pop over to Voisin bread and wine.
They have amazing sourdough bread but best of all they don't mind sharing some starter. They have a jar ready with dry starter to share. I'm not entirely sure whether I paid for it or not just got a loaf of great sourdough and that for R50
Nice to add another strain to the collection

So it's my wife's birthday and I - pro baker who admittedly am a bit rusty since I last baked something when I was helping my mom in the kitchen in my preschool years - have decided to bake my wife...a cupcake!
Apparently I'm not allowed to go higher than no 3 on this thing:

What are you going to use the mixer for? Whipping egg whites?

I don't have a hand mixer or thing.. look the back of the box says use a mixer, so mixer it is. Like bringing a fire truck to a water gun fight but it is what it is.

Be careful that you don't overwork the batter. Shouldn't need more than a minute I guess.
Follow this to the T you will make awesome cupcakes
Vanilla Cupcakes (that actually stay moist)
These incredible vanilla cupcakes are light and fluffy with a plush crumb, and they stay fresh and moist for 4 whole days!

It ain't much, but it's honest work...
Things I've learned:
1. Piping is the most difficult thing known to man
2. My wife loves me very much
3. Blue colouring colours everything. I'll go take a shower now, right after I fix the mess in the kitchen.

This thing is my new favourite. Perfect for inviting friends around, mostly to help finish it because it’s huge and sweet.
