I'm the wrong person to ask. Mine came out pretty dense and looking at tips I need to let the starter mature for a week, knead the dough more, and let it rise more.Imma need details. How's you make your starter?
Looks great! Jenny recently made her first loaf of sourdough. It's tasty but has the density of a brick.
I almost misspelled it on purposeSo close on a perfect title
What ever kind they had.What kind of yeast did your wife buy at Lidl?
How much flour and how much water in the dough?
How much starter and how long did it rise? I've got a fair bit of sourdough experience.
If it is true sourdough starter and not an approximation made from commercial yeast, she would have had to get it from the bakery and it should already be active. To keep it active you should be feeding it daily if leaving on the counter and wanting to use. Discard all but a small amount and then feed 5x that amount by weight in flour and water.What ever kind they had.
2 cups flour and added water to get the consistency I wanted
1 Cup of starter
It rose for 2 hours, kneaded it and went for another hour.
It was a learning experience, I'll build up a good yeast culture for a week then try it again this weekend.
