Sourdough

Growing up my Mom used to make sourdough bread all the time. I used to love coming home from school and warming a piece up with butter for my after school snack. Before Christmas she got starter to start making it again. Not only has she been making loaf bread, she has been making cinnamon rolls as well. Christmas night when her and Dad come to stay, she brought us a loaf and cinnamon rolls. I had forgotten now good the bread was and the rolls are so yummy. Brian never had sourdough before so he fell in love with it. He loves it for his sandwiches. I asked Mom if she would bring me some starter next time she came to visit. Yesterday was the day to feed it and make the dough up. When I woke up this morning the dough was beautifully risen. I divided it into thirds, 2 loaves and a batch of cinnamon rolls.


My beautiful golden loaves! If I toot my own horn, it tastes very yummy!!


I baked the cinnamon rolls for half the time so I can freeze the ones we don't eat tomorrow and they will be freshly baked in the morning. They look so good half baked.
