Goal Met – Create Sourdough Starter

Remember back during Covid when everyone was making sourdough? I kind of wish I got on that train as keeping this stupid thing alive would have been a lot easier if I was working from home every day and we didn’t go anywhere. Well – getting it started was a huge pain but even remembering to feed it once a day is a bit of a pain as I’m back at work now and don’t have time for baking really.

All that being said – it really does make some great bread once you get it strong enough. You can also use the discard for a lot of things like muffins, pretzels, pizza, and some damn tasty pancakes. So I don’t feel like I’m wasting the discard every time I feed the sourdough.

I did consider coming up with some corny names for my starter like some people did (some of my favorites were Clint Yeastwood or Bread Sheeran) but couldn’t decide which one I liked best so I just put it out of my mind because I had a million other things to do.

I’ve kept it alive for almost two months now so maybe it’s time to give this little guy a name. He’s given me so much deliciousness and get does get better with age.

Maybe Frodough baggins?
