Ooh more resources!! Thank you!

My sourdough is at the "make enough different things to keep using my starter" stage. Georg (starter) got neglected last semester with some stuff going on and went off after a roommate left some food to get moldy in the fridge :( so the goal this semester is to teach that roommate how to monitor expiration dates and use my starter on a more regular basis.

I want to try doing a smaller bread loaf next week (we're rehydradating a backup this week). Cause I cannot get through a whole large loaf on my own without freezing it.

I should definitely explore more flavors eventually. Right now Georg is on a whole wheat diet. I also want to try some inclusions to get more flavors.

There are hundreds of recipes to play around with.

It can be very challenging to keep a fridge with nothing past-due in it. Some folks keep a minifridge for their cultures.

Well, there are small-loaf pans, or you can try shaping artisan boules.

It also makes great bread bowls:
