Re: OK folks, How do you make sourdough bread...

Sourdough starter should smell like yeast. If it smells bad or turns pink

or some other color, throw it out. I'm not familiar with hogs, but wouldn't

spoiled food make them sick?

There is more than one method for making starter. I don't know which you

tried, but maybe you could use a different method. I don't know if it's NT,

but you could even buy sourdough starter (I originally started mine from a

recipe that used standard Brewer's yeast, but you probably won't want to do

that.) You would only have to get it once, and that might keep it from

going bad, and eventually wild yeasts from your local area would colonize

it. I don't use mine every day, so I keep it in the refrigerator and take

it out and feed it a day before I use it. (But I use wheat flour)

What I've got here looks like it should be thrown to the hogs. I'm not

kidding.

I started with freshly gound rye, did the starter thing for a week.

Now I have a lump of stinky dough that is disgusting.

I'm going to start over.

I still have starter. What is it supposed to smell like? I have

allergies really bad so my nose doesn't work that great. My over

reacting son says it stinks like something rotten (actualy he has lots

of descriptive words), my husband says it smells like cheese.

Advice wanted please,
